DEXA

Skagit Osteoporosis Detection Center is a service provided by Skagit Radiology, Inc.

Bone Densitometry:
This examination is performed with the use of x-rays (dexa, or dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry) or ultrasound, and is used to detect osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is associated with reduced bone density, and fractures. Early detection and treatment of osteoporosis can help to prevent fractures.
