DEXA Scan

Southern Arizona Radiology Associates specializes in DEXA scanning, utilizing Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry. DEXA is the preferred technique for accurately measuring bone mineral density (BMD), a crucial factor in diagnosing osteoporosis.

During a DEXA scan, the scanner emits both low-energy and high-energy X-ray beams. By measuring the difference in X-ray penetration through the bone for each beam, the thickness and density of the bone can be precisely calculated.

Our skilled team utilizes DEXA scanning to provide accurate assessments of bone health. This noninvasive procedure allows for the early detection of osteoporosis and aids in monitoring treatment progress.

Count on Southern Arizona Radiology Associates for comprehensive DEXA scanning services, ensuring precise measurements and effective management of bone health.
