DEXA Scan in Olomouc

G-CENTRUM Olomouc's bone density service uses the LUNAR PRODIGY Primo DXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) densitometer to measure bone mineral density with radiation exposure approximately 15 times lower than a conventional chest X-ray. The 20-minute scan assesses the hip and lumbar spine — the two sites most predictive of fracture risk — and generates a printed T-score report interpreted by the clinic's specialist. The service is positioned as a preventive screening tool for women over 50, post-menopausal women, and those with osteoporosis risk factors including family history of fractures, low BMI, corticosteroid use, or height loss.

Bone densitometry at SPEA Olomouc measures bone mineral density (BMD) using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) to identify osteoporosis and quantify fracture risk. The clinic applies the validated FRAX questionnaire alongside the scan result to calculate the ten-year probability of a major osteoporotic fracture, giving a clinically actionable picture rather than a raw density number. The service is particularly suited to women 60 and older, men 70 and older, and younger adults whose FRAX score or clinical history indicates elevated risk.
