DEXA Scanning
Measure Your Strength.

Seth Sevana Hospital uses the latest Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry technology to accurately assess bone health and detect osteoporosis early.

What is DEXA Scanning?

A DEXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scan, also known as a bone density scan, is the gold standard medical imaging test for measuring bone mineral density.

It uses extremely low-level X-rays to assess the strength of your bones. The examination requires care and technical expertise; our staff are highly trained to ensure accurate readings that help diagnose Osteoporosis and assess the risk of fractures.
