Also known as: DEXA, DXA, bone mineral density.
What the Bone Density Scan test measures
Bone-mineral density, reported as T-score and Z-score.
Typical reference range
T-score -1.0 or above normal; -2.5 or below is osteoporosis. Reference ranges differ between laboratories and depend on age, sex, and other factors, so always compare your result with the range printed on your own report. This page is for orientation only and is not medical advice.
Why a Bone Density Scan is ordered
- Screening for osteoporosis
- Monitoring bone treatment
What to track
- T-score by site and date
- Treatment at the time
- Change between scans
