Our state-of the-art bone density and body composition scans help to diagnose osteoporosis and flag fracture risk.
Newson Clinic 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.
The associated radiation risks are very low. However, it cannot provide detailed anatomical images as this would require a much higher dose
It's a safe, quick, and painless procedure that can take 10-20 minutes.
Please note that we are unable to offer a DEXA bone density scan or body composition scan to anyone who is not a registered Newson Clinic patient.
