Bone Density Testing in Hyderabad

What is Bone Density Testing?

Bone Density Testing (also called a DEXA scan) measures the strength and mineral content of your bones—typically at the hip, spine, and forearm.

It helps:

Diagnose osteoporosis and osteopenia (early bone loss)
Assess fracture risk
Monitor bone health over time
Guide treatment for bone-weakening conditions

Early detection = better prevention and stronger future mobility.

Who Should Get a Bone Density Test?

Women aged 50 and above (post-menopause)
Men aged 60 and above
Anyone with a family history of osteoporosis or fractures
People with a history of steroid medication use (e.g., for asthma, arthritis)
Those who have lost height or suffered fractures easily
Patients with thyroid, parathyroid, or autoimmune disorders
Smokers, alcohol users, or sedentary lifestyle individuals

Even if you feel fine, silent bone loss may already be happening.

How Bone Density Testing is Done

No injections, no pain—it's like getting an X-ray.
You lie comfortably on a padded table.
The DEXA scanner passes over your body, focusing on spine, hip, or wrist.
Minimal radiation exposure—lower than a chest X-ray.
Results are available the same day.
The entire process usually takes 10–15 minutes.

What Your Bone Density Results Mean

T-Score Range	Interpretation
+1 to -1	Normal bone density
-1 to -2.5	Osteopenia (low bone mass)
-2.5 and lower	Osteoporosis (significant bone loss)

The lower your T-score, the higher your fracture risk.

Benefits of Bone Density Testing

Early diagnosis of osteoporosis before fractures occur
Personalized treatment planning (medications, supplements, exercises)
Monitor effectiveness of bone health therapies over time
Empowerment to make lifestyle changes that preserve bone strength
