Newcastle Bone Density Centre is operated by qualified and experienced clinicians providing adult and paediatric DEXA scans for both Bone Mineral Density and Body Composition.
Bone Density Scans
A dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan is a medical procedure used to measure the density of your bones. The test can assist in determining your risk of fractures. Based on this assessment, anti-osteoporotic treatment could be considered by your doctor.
Body Composition Scans
Body Composition Scanning is used to determine the proportions of different tissue types in your body. This technique has been widely used to assess fat and muscle mass. Results can be used to measure changes over time.
