Bone Density Examination

骨密度檢測

DEXA

A bone density scan is a type of low-dose x-ray test that measures calcium and other minerals in your bones. This measurement helps show the strength and thickness of your bones.

When bones become thinner than normal, it's known as osteopenia. Osteopenia puts you at risk for a more serious condition called osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a progressive disease that causes bones to become very thin and brittle.

Osteoporosis usually affects older people and is most common in women over the age of 65. People with osteoporosis are at higher risk for fractures (broken bones), especially in their hips, spine, and wrists.
