BMD (Bone mineral density) test in Dwarka, Delhi

Empowering Health, Transforming Lives.

At Ayushman Diagnostics & Imaging Centre, located in Dwarka Sector-12, we offer advanced Bone Mineral Density (BMD) testing using the latest DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) technology. This highly accurate and non-invasive test helps evaluate your bone health, detect early signs of osteoporosis, and monitor other bone-related conditions. Our cutting-edge DEXA scan provides precise measurements of bone density, which is crucial for the prevention and management of bone loss, especially in high-risk individuals.

Why is BMD Testing Important?

Testing your bone density is essential to assess the risk of developing conditions like osteoporosis and osteopenia. Early detection can prevent fractures and other complications. Some key reasons for BMD testing include:

  • Early detection of osteoporosis (bone thinning)
  • Fracture risk assessment for individuals at risk
  • Post-menopausal bone health monitoring
  • Assessment of bone density in patients with:
    • Chronic steroid use
    • Thyroid disorders
    • Rheumatoid arthritis
    • Kidney disorders
    • Age-related bone loss (especially in older adults)
