A Dexa scan is a specialized X-ray that measures bone mineral density (BMD). It is primarily used to detect osteoporosis, a condition where bones become fragile and are more prone to fractures. By using two X-ray beams at different energy levels, a Dexa scan can determine how much calcium and other bone-strengthening minerals are present in a segment of bone.
