BMD (Dexa Scan)

How the Test is Performed

A bone mineral density (BMD) examination quantifies the presence of calcium and various mineral types within a specific bone region. This assessment aids your healthcare professional in identifying osteoporosis and assessing the likelihood of bone fractures.

Bone density testing can be done several different ways.
The most common and accurate way uses a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. DEXA uses low-dose x-rays. (You receive more radiation with a chest x-ray.)

Description

How to Prepare for the Test

If you are or could be pregnant, tell your health care provider before this test is done.

Bone mineral density (BMD) tests are used to:

  • Diagnose bone loss and osteoporosis
  • See how well osteoporosis medicine is working
  • Predict your risk of future bone fractures

Women under age 65 and men ages 50 to 70 are at increased risk of osteoporosis if they have:

  • Chronic rheumatoid arthritis, chronic kidney disease, eating disorders
  • Early menopause (either from natural causes or surgery)
  • History of hormone treatment for prostate cancer or breast cancer
  • Strong family history of osteoporosis
  • Taking thyroid hormone replacement
  • Three or more drinks of alcohol a day on most days

Current practice recommends BMD retesting every 1 or 2 years.

Risks

Bone mineral density uses a slight amount of radiation. Most doctors feel that the risk is very low compared with the benefits of finding osteoporosis before you break a bone.
General Information
Living in the modern society imposes significant strain on our bodies. Our hectic lifestyles, characterized by irregular work hours, erratic eating patterns, and limited time for exercise, have a profound impact on our health and overall well-being. However, waiting for health problems to arise is not a wise approach. Recognizing the needs of hardworking professionals who aspire to safeguard their health, we have developed an executive health check-up package specifically designed for individuals in this age group. Considering the prevailing pollution levels we encounter daily, as well as the detrimental effects of lifestyle choices such as smoking, P.H. Diagnostic Centre offers an executive check-up package that encompasses a comprehensive range of tests. These tests are carefully selected to assess various aspects of health and address potential health risks. By availing themselves of this package, individuals can proactively monitor their well-being and take necessary steps towards maintaining good health.
Guidlines
Take prior appointment at least 24 hrs. before the check-up. Minimum 12 to 14 hrs fasting is essential prior to check-up, you may drink water. Complete abstinence from alcohol at least 24 hrs prior to the check-up. Please carry your regular medication when you come to the check-up. Wear loose clothing, no jewellery & easily removable footwear if possible. Report at reception between 8.30 am to 9.30 am. During the course of investigation breakfast will be provided Bring all your past medical records if any. If you are wearing lenses please remove them two days prior to the Health Check-up. Additional test if required apart from package will be charged separately. Duration of check-up may range from 3 to 6 hrs. depending upon package selected. After completion of check-up, we would appreciate if you could fill the feed-back form. Second consultation with Physician the next working day along with reports will be at no additional cost.
