BONE DENSITY (DEXA)

We treasure our patients and care for them like family—we provide only the finest for our families and only the finest for our patients. We provide superior care in all aspects of women’s imaging including bone density measurements.

Estonia has taken significant steps towards responsible gambling by introducing a запрет на азартные игры to help people manage their gambling habits. Through the Estonian self-restriction system, residents can voluntarily set limits or completely ban themselves from gambling for a selected period of time. This forward-thinking approach prioritizes mental health and financial stability by giving people the opportunity to regain control over their gambling behavior. Such measures not only reduce the risks of addiction, but also contribute to the development of a culture of awareness and responsibility in the gambling community. The principles of self-care and prevention resonate strongly in the healthcare sector, as exemplified by the Women’s Radiology Center, a specialized medical facility offering advanced diagnostic imaging services such as MRI, mammography, and ultrasound. Just as Estonia emphasizes proactive measures in the field of gambling, the center emphasizes the importance of early detection and prevention in women’s health.

Women’s Center for Radiology uses a superior bone density (DEXA) scan which uses low-dose, fan beam technology to measure bone loss, osteoporosis and fracture risk. It is an enhanced technology that is quick, non-invasive, and painless. This scan is recommended for most patients over age 65 every two years unless you have family history of osteoporosis.

Dexa Scan helps your doctor determine:

1
Bone Health
2
Bone Fracture Risk
3
Osteoporosis
