The bone density test is also referred to as dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA or DEXA). It’s an important test for osteoporosis. Osteoporosis causes your bone tissue to become thin and ...

University of Waterloo spinoff KA Imaging is providing a spectral X-ray detector, the Reveal 35C, that will go aboard a Crew ...

During and after this transition, your bone density levels may drop low enough to be considered osteopenia. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, DEXA or DXA, is the most common way to measure BMD.

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA, or formerly DEXA) is a technique used to measure bone mineral density (BMD). The preferred regions for BMD measurement are lumbar spine, proximal femur and whole ...
