DEXA bone density study of single site of axial skeleton
About Test
A bone density study of a single site of the axial skeleton is a diagnostic imaging test that measures the density of bone in a specific area of the axial skeleton. The axial skeleton includes the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage. The test is often used to diagnose osteoporosis, a condition that causes bones to become weak and brittle.
The most common sites for bone density testing are the lumbar spine (lower back) and the hip. However, sometimes only a single site of the axial skeleton is studied. This might be the lumbar spine, the hip, or another specific location, depending on the individual's symptoms and risk factors for osteoporosis.
