DEXA SCAN review in 60 Seconds

DEXA Scan! 🦴 The gold-standard imaging test that measures bone mineral density to screen for osteoporosis and evaluate fracture risks. Learn how to interpret T-scores and Z-scores instantly to guide patient care and treatment plans.

DEXA scan (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry). Measures bone mineral density to evaluate bone strength and diagnose conditions like osteoporosis and osteopenia. The machine passes two distinct low-energy X-ray beams through your body; as these beams hit your skeleton, denser bones block more radiation while thinner bones let more pass through. By calculating the difference in radiation blocked between your soft tissue and bone, the detector precisely calculates your Bone Mineral Density (BMD) in g/cm2g/cm squared. T-Score Range -1.0 or higher = Normal bone density Between -1.0 and -2.5 = Osteopenia (low bone density, indicating a risk of developing osteoporosis) -2.5 or lower= Osteoporosis (significant bone thinning that requires medical evaluation and treatment). Z-Score Range Above -2.0: This is considered within the expected range for your age group. -2.0 or lower: This indicates below the expected range for your age group, meaning your bone density is significantly lower than your peers. .T-ScoreCompared to a healthy 30-year-old adult of your same sex (peak bone mass).Used to diagnose osteopenia and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and men over 50.Z-ScoreCompared to an average person of your same age, sex, and weight/ethnicity.Used to identify unusual bone loss in children, premenopausal women, and younger men.The machine passes two distinct low-energy X-ray beams through your body; as these beams hit your skeleton, denser bones block more radiation while thinner bones let more pass through. By calculating the difference in radiation blocked between your soft tissue and bone, the detector precisely calculates your Bone Mineral Density (BMD) in g/cm2g/cm squared.
