Overview:
The DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) Scan service at Kurunegala Cooperative Hospital provides precise measurement of bone mineral density, helping in the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis and other bone-related conditions. This non-invasive, painless procedure uses low-dose X-rays to evaluate bone strength and identify early signs of bone loss, which is crucial for preventing fractures and maintaining long-term skeletal health.
Our radiology department uses advanced DEXA scanning equipment operated by trained technicians, ensuring accurate results with minimal radiation exposure. The test is recommended for postmenopausal women, elderly patients, individuals with risk factors for bone loss, and patients requiring baseline or follow-up assessments.
