Dual X-ray absorptiometry and laser

Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA or DEXA) is a medical imaging technique primarily used to measure bone mineral density (BMD). It employs two X-ray beams with different energy levels to assess the amount of bone in a specific area, typically the spine, hip, or wrist. DXA is widely regarded as a standard method for diagnosing osteoporosis and determining fracture risk, as well as for monitoring bone density changes over time, especially in patients undergoing treatment for bone-related conditions.
