Bone Density Scanning (DEXA)
Bone Density Scanning (DEXA)
A bone density scan—also called a DEXA scan—is a simple, non-invasive test that measures the strength of your bones. It uses low-dose X-rays to check for signs of bone thinning, helping detect conditions like osteopenia and osteoporosis before a fracture occurs.
Peace of Mind, Backed by Data
Bone health doesn’t have to be a mystery. A DEXA scan gives us the data to protect and strengthen your bones—before a fracture sets you back.
As a rheumatology and osteoporosis clinic, we often care for patients whose conditions or medications affect bone health. Bone density scans allow us to:
- Diagnose bone loss early
- Monitor how your bones respond to treatment
- Estimate your fracture risk using tools like the FRAX® score
- Make informed decisions about your care
Piedmont Arthritis Clinic no longer offers DEXA scans in office, but we partner with many facilities in the Upstate in order for our patients to schedule this critical bone health exam.
