Bone Density Analysis
The iDEXA scan is the fastest and most precise method for measuring bone density, providing comprehensive assessment by evaluating multiple sites, including the spine and both hips. This allows for detailed comparisons between sides, offering valuable insights into bone health.
Osteoporosis is a condition where bones gradually weaken and thin, making them more susceptible to fractures, even from minimal trauma. It affects over 1 million people in Australia and presents a significant burden on the healthcare system. Often referred to as the "silent disease," osteoporosis typically shows no symptoms until substantial bone loss has occurred and symptoms may include a loss of height and a curvature of the upper back. Osteoporosis also can result in painful and debilitating fractures, most commonly in the hip, spine, or wrist.

Total Body Composition Analysis
Total Body Composition measurement using the iDEXA is an integral tool in the assessment, monitoring and management of cardio-metabolic health and well being, providing detailed information about key health indicators, e.g. visceral fat measurement. It scans the whole body from head to toe using minimal radiation exposure and differentiates between varying densities of body tissue, including muscle, fat and bone. Adelaide BodyScan's iDEXA is the most accurate and reliable tool for tracking fat and muscle changes in individuals, taking just 10-15 minutes to complete. To find out more
Early Detection
Early detection of osteoporosis is crucial as it enables prompt intervention, which can help lower the risk of serious fractures. Effective treatment can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals at risk of bone loss.
Monitoring
Regular bone density checks are vital for informing treatment decisions, assessing therapy effectiveness, and addressing the risk of osteoporosis. This proactive approach helps enhance bone health and decrease the likelihood of debilitating fractures.
