This type of examination provides information about bone strength or fragility and the risk of fractures or broken bones. Generally, the higher the density, the lower the risk of fracture.<\/p><p>Currently, DEXA is the simplest, safest, and most readily accessible test to help establish a snapshot of a person\u2019s overall bone density. This test can help diagnose conditions such as early osteoporosis, which in turn helps prevent fractures from occurring.<\/p><p>At NIA Diagnostic Imaging, we invest in the latest digital DEXA technology which offers excellent image quality and lowest radiation dose possible at a highly efficient manner compared with conventional x-ray systems. Thus, results are readily available in no time.<\/p><p><strong>Preparation<\/strong><\/p><p>Please bring any previous diagnostic imaging and reports related to the area.<\/p><p>Usually there are no specific preparations required for DEXAs.<\/p><p><strong>NO APPOINTMENT<\/strong> necessary.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2586 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-auto elementor-button-info elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-2586 elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"2586\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm elementor-animation-grow\" href=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dpopup%3Aopen%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6IjIzODgiLCJ0b2dnbGUiOmZhbHNlfQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-phone-volume\" viewBox=\"0 0 384 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M97.333 506.966c-129.874-129.874-129.681-340.252 0-469.933 5.698-5.698 14.527-6.632 21.263-2.422l64.817 40.513a17.187 17.187 0 0 1 6.849 20.958l-32.408 81.021a17.188 17.188 0 0 1-17.669 10.719l-55.81-5.58c-21.051 58.261-20.612 122.471 0 179.515l55.811-5.581a17.188 17.188 0 0 1 17.669 10.719l32.408 81.022a17.188 17.188 0 0 1-6.849 20.958l-64.817 40.513a17.19 17.19 0 0 1-21.264-2.422zM247.126 95.473c11.832 20.047 11.832 45.008 0 65.055-3.95 6.693-13.108 7.959-18.718 2.581l-5.975-5.726c-3.911-3.748-4.793-9.622-2.261-14.41a32.063 32.063 0 0 0 0-29.945c-2.533-4.788-1.65-10.662 2.261-14.41l5.975-5.726c5.61-5.378 14.768-4.112 18.718 2.581zm91.787-91.187c60.14 71.604 60.092 175.882 0 247.428-4.474 5.327-12.53 5.746-17.552.933l-5.798-5.557c-4.56-4.371-4.977-11.529-.93-16.379 49.687-59.538 49.646-145.933 0-205.422-4.047-4.85-3.631-12.008.93-16.379l5.798-5.557c5.022-4.813 13.078-4.394 17.552.933zm-45.972 44.941c36.05 46.322 36.108 111.149 0 157.546-4.39 5.641-12.697 6.251-17.856 1.304l-5.818-5.579c-4.4-4.219-4.998-11.095-1.285-15.931 26.536-34.564 26.534-82.572 0-117.134-3.713-4.836-3.115-11.711 1.285-15.931l5.818-5.579c5.159-4.947 13.466-4.337 17.856 1.304z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Call Us<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DEXA (Bone Density Scan) A dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan (DEXA), or bone density scan, is a special type of x-ray that measures bone mineral density (BMD).
