DEXA Scan Singapore

What is a DEXA Scan?

A DEXA Scan, also known as Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry, employs minimal ionizing radiation to create intricate internal body images, similar to conventional x-rays. For those curious about additional x-ray services or seeking deeper insights into radiological imaging, our X-ray Clinic in Singapore offers an extensive explanation and various associated services.

A DEXA scan, or Bone Mineral Density (BMD) scan, is a fast, non-invasive test that precisely measures bone density, helping to evaluate the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. In addition to bone health, the scan provides body composition analysis, offering details on fat and muscle distribution. It's important to recognize that aspects such as diet and vitamin levels can affect bone and general health.

The 2010 National Health Survey revealed that 48% of Singaporeans have a deficiency in Vitamin D, potentially leading to insufficient calcium absorption and deteriorating bone health. If you think you may have nutrient deficiencies, look into our vitamin deficiency tests to confirm that you're receiving all the necessary nutrients for ideal health.

Why do a DEXA Scan?

Various factors might lead someone to choose a DEXA Scan, particularly in Singapore:

• Bone Health Evaluation: The scan's main function is to check for osteoporosis or the likelihood of developing it, a condition characterized by weakened bones that are more susceptible to breaking.
• Fracture Risk Assessment: The scan helps gauge the risk of fractures even in individuals without osteoporosis, enabling them to adopt preventive strategies.
• Treatment Monitoring: For those already suffering from osteoporosis, DEXA scans
• Body Composition Analysis: DEXA scans offer a precise analysis of body composition, including fat, lean muscle, and bone density, beneficial for athletes, fitness buffs, or anyone interested in a detailed body assessment for better health or fitness planning.
• Post-menopausal Check: After menopause, women often see a significant decline in bone density. DEXA scans are particularly advised for post-menopausal women to evaluate bone health and adapt their lifestyle or treatment accordingly.
