DEXA - Hamptons Hospital

What to expect

A DEXA scan is a quick, non-invasive procedure that measures bone density to assess your risk of osteoporosis and fractures. It provides crucial insights into your bone health, enabling early interventions where necessary.

At Hamptons Hospital, your experience begins with a warm welcome and an explanation of the process. During the scan, you’ll lie comfortably on a padded table while a specialised X-ray machine scans your body using low-dose radiation.

The procedure is painless and typically takes 10–20 minutes to complete. You can expect to return to your daily activities immediately afterward, as there’s no downtime involved.

Results are usually ready within 48 hours, giving you clear, actionable insights into your bone health. Imagine the confidence of knowing the best steps to strengthen and protect your bones.

Expertise

We use cutting-edge DEXA scanners for precise bone density measurements. Our experienced radiologists analyse your results and work with you to develop a personalised care plan.
