Bone Densitometry
Bone densitometry, or DEXA (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry), measures the strength of your bones to determine whether you are at risk for developing osteoporosis or osteopenia (decreased bone mass) — osteopenia often develops into osteoporosis. Doctors use the test to develop an appropriate treatment plan to slow the progression of disease and prevent fractures. Early detection can allow doctors to begin therapy when it can be most beneficial.
Bone densitometry is offered at the Gadsden Regional Medical Center Women's Imaging Center. Located in Building 400, the center is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
To schedule an appointment, please call (256) 494-4600.
