Bone Density (DEXA)

Chest X-Ray

A DEXA scan is an imaging technique used to measure and monitor changes in bone density. This procedure is most commonly used to look for signs of osteoporosis. A DEXA scan can let patients know whether or not they have osteoporosis or if they are at risk for developing the disease.
