         A DEXA scan is a test designed to measure bone mineral density and diagnose osteoporosis.  This test is quick and painless.  To prepare for your DEXA scan wear comfortable clothing, avoiding garments with any type of metal or zippers.

CT imaging uses special x-ray equipment to produce multiple images or pictures of the inside of the body and a computer to join them together in cross-sectional views of the area being studied. CT scans of internal organs, bone, soft tissue and blood vessels provide greater clarity than conventional x-ray exams.
