Advanced DEXA Scan at Apollo Clinic Dispur

Understanding your bone health can be an important part of preventive and diagnostic care. Apollo Clinic Dispur now offers advanced DEXA scanning using the OsteoSys PRIMUS DEXA system for assessment of bone mineral density and, where applicable, whole body composition.

A DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scan is a diagnostic imaging procedure commonly used to assess bone mineral density. Based on the clinical requirement, a DEXA assessment may also provide information related to body composition.

The appropriate scan or assessment depends on the individual's clinical requirement and the recommendation of the consulting doctor.

What Can a DEXA Assessment Help Evaluate?
Depending on the type of assessment performed, DEXA scanning can provide information about:

Bone Mineral Density
Assessment of bone mineral density at selected skeletal sites such as the spine, femur and forearm.

Spine and Hip/Femur Assessment
Site-specific evaluation of bone mineral density at clinically relevant skeletal regions.

Whole Body Composition
Where available and clinically appropriate, whole body composition analysis can provide measurements related to body composition. Specific parameters reported should be interpreted according to the official machine report.

Who May Be Advised a DEXA Scan?
A doctor may recommend a bone density assessment based on factors such as:

Increasing age
Post-menopausal bone health
Previous fractures
Family history of osteoporosis
Certain medical conditions
Long-term use of medications such as corticosteroids
Ongoing monitoring of bone health as clinically advised

A DEXA scan is not necessarily required for everyone. The need for testing should be determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on individual clinical circumstances.
