Bone Density Peripheral
About Test
A bone density peripheral test, also known as a peripheral dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (pDXA) test, is a non-invasive diagnostic test that measures the density of bone in the limbs, such as the wrist, heel, or finger. It is a quick and painless way to screen for osteoporosis, a condition in which bones become weak and brittle, and are at higher risk of fracture.
If the bone density peripheral test reveals low bone density, additional testing and evaluation may be recommended to determine the underlying cause and to develop an appropriate treatment plan.
