A DEXA Whole body bone scan is a diagnostic test that determines how much calcium and other minerals are packed into a section of bone. It works by directing two X-ray beams at the patient's bones, each with a different energy level.
DEXA scanning focuses on locations all over the body in this procedure. The absorption of each beam by the bone is used to calculate Bone Marrow Density (BMD).

It also aids in assessing the risk of getting a fracture by determining if you are at risk of osteoporosis, a condition that weakens the bones and makes it more likely to fracture easily even with minor or no trauma at all. It is the standard gold test for determining bone mineral density.
Bone mineral Density or BMD is also detected with this scan that’s why it is also known as BMD test.

Patients need to lie down on the examination table and patients need to remain still during the scanning procedure.
