DEXA Scan – Bone Density Test at Royal Care Diagnostics, Chennai
Stay one step ahead in bone health with our advanced DEXA Scan in Chennai.
At Royal Care Diagnostics, we offer DEXA Scan (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry), a gold-standard test for assessing bone mineral density. This scan is a non-invasive, safe, and accurate method to detect osteoporosis, monitor bone loss, and assess the risk of fractures.
Why Is a DEXA Scan Done?
A DEXA scan is primarily recommended for:
- Women over 40 years (post-menopausal bone health check)
- Men over 50 with risk factors
- People with a family history of osteoporosis
- Individuals with thyroid or autoimmune conditions
- Those on long-term steroid medication
- Patients with history of fractures or poor bone strength
Is the DEXA Scan Safe?
Yes. The DEXA Scan uses very low-dose X-rays and is completely painless, safe, and typically takes around 10–15 minutes. It involves no injections or sedation and has minimal radiation exposure, much lower than a chest X-ray.
What to Expect at Royal Care Diagnostics?
At our Ashok Nagar and Vadapalani centers, DEXA scans are performed using state-of-the-art imaging technology handled by experienced radiology technicians. You can relax on a padded table while the scanner passes over your hip and spine region to measure bone density.
