DEXA Scan stands for Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry, and it is a method of Bone Mineral Density Assessment. Bone Mineral Density Assessment is used to: detect the presence of osteoporosis in men and women with particular risk factors; screen for osteoporosis, particularly in women making decisions about hormone replacement therapy at menopause; predict future fracture risk; and monitor bone density in those with low normal levels and in those with osteoporosis undergoing treatment.
