Hong Kong Well Men Centre Bone Mineral Density Test (DEXA) (Ages 40 and up)

By using two X-ray beams with different energies, bone density at specific locations in the body can be accurately measured without being affected by the absorption of X-rays by surrounding soft tissues. Therefore, this method of measuring bone density is called "dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry" (DEXA).

Dual-energy Dermatology (DED) is currently the most commonly used method for diagnosing osteoporosis. The procedure is quick, safe, and requires only a low radiation dose. The patient simply lies flat on the testing table, and the examination is completed within 10 minutes.

This test can be used to detect osteoporosis, determine your future risk of fractures, and assess the effectiveness of osteoporosis treatment.

Precautions :

1. Please avoid taking calcium supplements 24 hours before the examination.
2. If you have had a barium meal/CT scan/MRI/radioisotope examination within the past two weeks, please inform your healthcare provider.
