Bone Densitometry or Dual X-ray Absorptiometry, is a radiological technique using low-intensity X-rays.
It measures the bone mineral content (in grams) per surface area unit (in square centimetres). Bone mineral density increases from birth until the age of 20 to 25, then remains stable until the age of 35 to 40, and then progressively diminishes. Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease characterised by low bone mineral density and progressive deterioration of the bone tissue's microarchitecture, with an increasing fracture risk. Therefore, it is important to both measure bone mineral density as well as to determine if the patient has any undetected vertebral fractures.
I was told that's what have bone density from a x Ray's today by my doctor..I didnt have this test
Does radiologist need to wear protection led?
Hello, thank you for your question. It is not necessary for the operator to be close to the DXA scanner during the examination. Studies have shown that controlled area can usually be limited to within 1m from the table for pencil beam and 2m for fan beams. If these distances are not practical - mobile screens or structural shielding may be required. Radiation protection can be achieved by having adequate distance between the operator and the patient or using a fixed / mobile lead-acrylic screens, or a combination of both. Please do not hesitate to ask the medical staff if you have any further questions. Best regards.
Thanks for your message. Yes, you can use it for educational purpose.
Kind regards,

Very helpful and useful. Thank you.
Who perform this test? Do i need a Dr. or radiology trained person or Radiologist.
You need to exclude dairy products and eat more fresh fruit and veggies.
More casein - less bone density.
More lemonades and junk food - less bone density.
Hip Hip Hooray .. more job for medical and pharma, but more sufferers between humans.
We/You need to exclude dairy products and eat more fresh fruit and veggies.
@@silenxsil diary products are supposed to be good for the bones.
Did you ever been taken animal steroids? ..well, that's it :)
Easest way to ask - are you carnivore?
