What is Forearm measurement of bone densitometer (Dexa Scan)?
A Forearm Measurement using a bone densitometer (DEXA scan) is a diagnostic test that measures bone mineral density (BMD) in the forearm, typically focusing on the distal radius (the bone on the outer side of the forearm near the wrist).
