What is Dual Femur measurement of bone densitometer (Dexa Scan)?

A Dual Femur Measurement using a bone densitometer (DEXA scan) is a diagnostic test that measures bone mineral density (BMD) in the femur, which is the thigh bone. This scan helps assess the strength of bones and the risk of fractures, especially in individuals at risk for osteoporosis or other bone-related conditions.

During the procedure, the patient lies on a table while a low-dose X-ray passes through the femur to measure its density. The results are used to determine bone health and help guide treatment or prevention strategies for bone diseases.

The test is non-invasive, quick, and involves minimal radiation exposure.
