DEXA Scan in Brno

Bone densitometry, or DEXA, measures bone mineral density (BMD) to assess osteoporosis and fracture risk. It uses dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry — two low-energy X-ray beams that distinguish bone from soft tissue — to calculate how much mineral is packed into the bone, typically at the lumbar spine and hip. EUC Klinika Brno performs DEXA on a GE Lunar Prodigy Primo scanner with a very low radiation dose. The exam takes about 15-20 minutes, needs no special preparation, and you simply lie still on a padded table while a scanning arm passes over you. A radiologist reviews the results and issues a written report with your T-score and Z-score, the values used to grade bone health against a healthy reference population.
