DEXA CENTERS

Early Detection and Prevention are Key to Minimizing Osteoporosis

A bone density scan done by Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) can identify persons at risk for Osteoporosis. The scan evaluates and detects early deterioration of bone mass and can measure the success of treatment for patients with Osteoporosis and Osteopenia.

Along with a calcium enriched diet, sensible, weight-bearing exercise, and medications, this scan should be part of the medical evaluation for all menopausal women and women at high risk. For more information contact the screening centers below.
