Bone density scan (DEXA scan)
What is a Bone Density Scan (DEXA,DXA)? Bone density scanning, also called dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) or bone densitometry, is an enhanced form of x-ray technology that is used to measure bone loss. DXA is today's established standard for measuring bone mineral density (BMD).
Bone cyst
