ABSTRACT
DEXA (dual x-ray absorptiometry) scans measure bone density (thickness and strength of bones) by passing a high- and low-energy x-ray beam (a form of ionizing radiation) through the body, usually in the hip and the spine. DXA scans and whole-body bone scans are similar tests. Both tests involve scanning your bones, but providers use them to check different aspects of your bone health. DXA scans are special X-rays that measure your bone density to screen you for osteoporosis and other conditions that weaken your bones.
