DEXA bone density study of pelvis
About Test
A DEXA bone density study of the pelvis is a diagnostic test used to evaluate the density of bones in the pelvic area. The test uses two different X-ray beams to measure the amount of radiation absorbed by the bone, providing information on bone mineral density. This information can help healthcare professionals diagnose conditions such as osteoporosis, a disease that weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures.
The test can help healthcare professionals diagnose osteoporosis, monitor the progression of the disease, and assess the effectiveness of treatment. It can also be used to identify individuals who are at risk of developing osteoporosis, such as postmenopausal women and men over the age of 70, so that preventive measures can be implemented.
After the DEXA bone density study of pelvis, you can expect to receive a report on your bone density measurement. This report will typically include a T-score, which compares your bone density to that of a healthy young adult of the same sex, and a Z-score, which compares your bone density to that of other people in your age group. A T-score of -1.0 or above is considered normal, while a T-score between -1.0 and -2.5 indicates low bone density or osteopenia, and a T-score of -2.5 or below indicates osteoporosis. Your healthcare professional will use this information to determine if further testing or treatment is necessary.
