A DEXA Scan, also known as Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry or a Bone Mineral Density (BMD) scan, is a quick, non-invasive imaging test that precisely measures bone density to assess the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. It uses a very small amount of ionising radiation to create detailed images of the inside of the body, similar to traditional X-ray images.

Beyond bone health, the scan can also analyse body composition, providing insights into fat distribution and muscle mass. If you are interested in other imaging services, our X-ray clinic offers a comprehensive overview. The 2010 National Health Survey indicated that 48% of Singaporeans have Vitamin D deficiency, which can lead to poor calcium absorption and weaker bones.

If you suspect nutrient imbalances may be affecting your bone health, consider our vitamin deficiency tests, which can identify shortfalls in Vitamin D, calcium, and other essential micronutrients to help you address them early.

There are several reasons why one might opt for a DEXA Scan, especially in Singapore:

• Bone Health Evaluation: The primary purpose of a DEXA Scan is to determine if a person has osteoporosis or is at risk of developing it. Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become fragile and more prone to fractures.
• Fracture Risk Assessment: Even if one doesn't have osteoporosis, the scan can assess the risk of fractures, allowing individuals to take preventative measures.
• Treatment Monitoring: For patients already diagnosed with osteoporosis, DEXA scans can track the progression of the disease and the effectiveness of ongoing treatments.
• Body Composition Analysis: Athletes, fitness enthusiasts, or individuals keen on understanding their body better can use DEXA scans in Singapore to get a detailed breakdown of body fat, lean muscle mass, and bone density. This supports the development of targeted fitness, nutrition, or weight loss treatment plans.
• Post-menopausal Check: Post-menopause, women experience a rapid decrease in bone density. A DEXA Scan is highly recommended for post-menopausal women to assess their bone health and make necessary lifestyle or medical changes.
