- A specialized test, called a bone mineral density (BMD) test, measures the density of bone in various parts of the body. Testing used at EWBC to measure bone density is the DXA* (Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry). This test measures the bone mineral density of the spine and hip. Once you have your test, your results are sent to the physician who ordered it. Bone Density testing is available at all our offices (Brighton, Geneseo, Greece and Victor).
Thanks for posting this video. I just finished surgery and radiation for breast cancer, and start tasking hormone therapy tomorrow. My medical oncologist wants me to take a bone density test in October. I've never had one. Seeing this vid makes me feel more comfortable!
I had a double lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node removal. I will be starting radiation treatments soon. I'm scheduled for a dexa test in two days. I will also be starting arimidex for ten years. How are you doing now? Any bad side effects from the meds? I'm concerned about all of it.

I was happy to hear you can rebuild your bones.
I’m super claustrophobic, this helped. Thanks

Never get an MRI then
Going in on the 22 for a bone density test thank you for this video .
Thanks so much for this video, believing it will help my mom.
Thank you for setting my mind at rest. I can go to sleep now. I thought you'd take a sample of the hip bone. I'm glad you won't.
Thanks so much!!
Thank you so much
Very helpful thank you
I am scheduled for this test next week. I went through radiation last winter and this looks similar to the radiation except it is very low dose and the scanner moves up and down instead of around the person. This video has really put my mind to ease.
I had this done many times. Not a big deal but I have spinal fracture in the past and this time I will be taken to check very check bone scan results is softing of the bones.
I’m scheduled for this today. Now I at least have an idea of what to expect
was was the results and how old was she? Is there side effects with the medication?
hi would you share your opinion on INEVIFIT Eros Bluetooth Smart Body Fat Scale
Bones issues can be caused from calcium issues relate to Parathyroid. ;(
I suffer from vertigo, panic attacks and claustrophobia. This seems to be the easiest scan I can tolerate. Hope my Doc's office offers this one. Some of the other scans are too much like CAT scans which I would not be able to tolerate.
I have to have meds for mris
@@kazbaz8645 yeah. I would definitely need to e totally knocked out. No way while awake.
@@9aspengold5 I was given a tranqualiser and I was quite content and watched the technician in a little mirror in an mri getting ready the contrast dye and I found it all so interesting! Without the meds I would like get me out of here!
@@kazbaz8645 good you were able to survive the procedure.
@@9aspengold5 Some large cities offer stand up MRI's. I had brain MRI done in Charlotte NC because I have vertigo. It was the easiest MRI that I have ever had. I sat in a chair with a helmet type equipment on my head. I was able to watch TV with close captioned while they performed the scan. With some of the scans, they just have the person stand in a booth with the front of the booth open. It is an excellent procedure for people with claustrophobia.
Having this done tomorrow. Am scared of the results
For the Dexa scan I was asked if I'm allergy to dyes I said no.

Does this measure bone density in the face?
WAWOO ...WE CAN TAKE CISSUS POWER CAPSULE FROM PLANET AYURVEDA IT'S REALLY AMAZING FOR BONE DENSITY..
This tech is full of it. She doesn’t show the patient being contorted. The test is extremely expensive. I will never undergo this test.

It's good to have this video shown in TH-cam app... But not worth for deaf women who need CAPTIONS (OR SUBTITLES) to understand what they say. I hope they will realize how important to educate ANY women... Deaf or not.
W Andrews TH-cam has captions option.
W Andrews ggggbb
W Andrews there are captuons
If you watch the actions of the technologist, you can see how the body positioning is done with the pillow for the first part (spinal column) scan, and then with a different device to support the knees or have he knees lie flat on the X-ray table for the hip scan. Or you can ask the imaging center to provide the sign language interpreter to sign what the technologist says regarding the positioning steps before your DXA appt.
