BMD Scan
Description
A Bone Mineral Density (BMD)
scan, commonly done using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), measures bone density to assess osteoporosis risk. During the scan, the patient lies on a table while a low-dose X-ray machine passes over the body, focusing on the spine, hip, or wrist. The resulting images determine bone strength and density.

A Bone Mineral Density (BMD) scan, also known as a bone density test, measures the amount of minerals (mainly calcium) in your bones. This test helps assess bone strength and the risk of fractures.
The most common type of BMD scan is Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA or DEXA). During the test, you lie down on a table while a small amount of X-ray radiation passes through your bones. The scan measures the amount of radiation absorbed by the bone to determine bone density.
A CT scan typically takes between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the type of scan and the area being examined. The actual scanning time is usually only a few minutes, with additional time needed for preparation and positioning.
The scan itself is usually quick, typically taking about 30-60 minutes. The actual time can vary depending on the area being scanned and the specific equipment used.
