A DEXA scan (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is a quick and accurate test used to measure bone density and assess the strength of your bones. It is commonly used to detect conditions such as osteoporosis and evaluate your risk of fractures.
The scan is simple, painless, and typically takes around 10 to 20 minutes. You will lie on a table while a low-dose scanner passes over your body to measure bone density.
At AxoScan, we help you access trusted clinics offering DEXA scans with minimal waiting times, transparent pricing, and convenient locations across the UK.
Bone Density DEXA Scans - Key Facts
Bone health
DEXA scans can track changes in bone density over time (particularly in the hip and spine), helping assess the risk of fracture and effectiveness of treatments or lifestyle changes.
Full body composition
Some DEXA scans can also measure body composition, including fat and lean mass, providing additional health insights.
Medical conditions and treatments
Used to monitor bone health in people with conditions or medical treatments that may affect bone strength.
Menopause and ageing
Often recommended for individuals over 50 or those going through menopause, when bone density can decline more rapidly.
Osteoporosis detection
DEXA scans are the gold standard for diagnosing osteoporosis, helping identify reduced bone density before fractures occur.
