How Does a DEXA Scan Work?
A DEXA scan is a quick and painless procedure that involves lying on a table while a scanner moves over your body. The scanner emits low-dose X-rays that measure the density of your bones. A healthcare professional analyzes the results to assess your bone health and body composition.
As an EBO MD member, you’ll have access to affordable DEXA scans. Our membership program offers a range of benefits, including convenient access to healthcare services.
Who Should Get a DEXA Scan?
- Women over 50: Women are at a higher risk of osteoporosis, especially after menopause.
- Men over 70: Men may also be at risk for osteoporosis, especially if they have certain risk factors.
- Individuals with a history of fractures: Fractures can be a sign of low bone density.
- People taking medications that can affect bone health: Certain medications, such as corticosteroids, can increase the risk of osteoporosis.
