Bone
Densitometry (DEXA)
Majority
people thought that aging, menopause, rheumatism
and
calciu m deficiency are the symptoms of
osteoporosis.
Taking calcium
rich food was good enough for prevention of osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is a silent disease. If you are at risk, you should be
assessed by your physician and may need Bone Densitometry, DEXA,
to ascertain the diagnosis.
DEXA uses low dose radiation to obtain bone images and calculate
bone mass density. The images are taken by a GE DPX Pro Bone
Densitometry (DEXA) operated by trained radiographers.
Consult with your physician whether a bone densitometry examination
is needed.
