Know more about this test
A bone mineral density (BMD) single site tests bone health. BMD (Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry/DEXA) uses a minute radiation dose to analyse bone density (mainly hip and spine). Two X-ray beams with different energy are passed through the bones. BMD is calculated based on the absorption of each beam by the bone. This test detects osteoporosis and the risk for bone fractures. The symptoms of bone damages are back pain, loss of height over time, stooped posture and brittle bones.
A score between +1 and −1 is considered healthy. A score of -1 to -2.5 indicates low bone density and a higher risk of fracture. Values lower than -2.5 are termed osteoporosis. It is a relatively safe, painless test and lasts about 10 minutes.
