Bone densitometry
Bone densitometry, also known as bone density measurement or DEXA scan, is a medical test that assesses bone density. This measurement determines the amount of mineral substances, such as calcium, in the bones. This examination helps determine whether the bones are strong enough or show signs of weakening, which can indicate an increased risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures.
All-in-one medical screening
During one appointment, you will have access to a team of medical specialists and several medical-technical examinations can be performed at the same time. Our team includes a cardiologist, internist-gastroenterologist, vascular surgeon, urologist, nose-throat-ear specialist and gynaecologist. After the screening, the specialist will discuss the findings with you and you will receive a full electronic medical report within a week. This report contains not only the results of the examinations, but also concrete, personal recommendations, such as lifestyle adjustments, medication advice, referral to another specialist or additional examination.
What is the point of a bone densitometry?
A bone densitometry is a simple, painless and accurate test that measures bone density. It looks at the amount of mineral substances, such as calcium, in the bone tissue. This can determine whether the bones are strong enough or show signs of weakening. In fact, lower bone density increases the risk of fractures, even from a small fall or bump.The goal is to detect bone loss at an early stage, identify the risk of osteoporosis early and enable preventive or targeted treatments. In this way, skeletal health can be maintained and complications such as bone fractures can be avoided as much as possible.
