Newson Health offers state of the art DEXA bone density and DEXA body composition scans at our Stratford-upon-Avon clinic which can be useful to assess your bones, muscle and fat. A DEXA (Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scan is a bone density test that uses low-dose X-rays to measure bone strength and density, helping diagnose osteoporosis and assess fracture risk.

It's a safe, quick, and painless procedure that can take 10-20 minutes.

We are unable to offer a DEXA bone density scan or body composition scan to anyone who is not a registered Newson Clinic patient. To speak to our team please call us on 01789 595 004.

About DEXA bone density scans

What it measures:

DEXA scans measure the amount of bone in a specific area of the body.

How it's used:

It's primarily used to diagnose osteoporosis (weak bones) and assess the risk of fractures.

How it works:

A DEXA scanner uses two different X-ray beams to measure bone density. DEXA scans can also be used to measure body composition (bone, fat, and muscle mass) in certain research settings.

Procedure:

The patient lies on a table, and a scanning arm is moved over the body to take the measurements.

Safety:

A DEXA scan is used to assess bone health by using a very low dose of radiation, so the associated radiation risks are very low. However, it cannot provide detailed anatomical images as this would require a much higher dose.

Results:

The results are used to assess bone density and compare it to age-matched norms to determine if bone density is normal, low (osteopenia), or very low (osteoporosis).
