Common information

• DEXA (dual energy X-ray absorptiometry) is a modern diagnostic procedure for measuring bone density, which specializes in assessing the risk of osteoporosis and analyzing overall body composition. This fast, painless, and radiation-minimized method not only examines bone density in the spine, hip, and wrist regions, but also performs a full body analysis that shows the ratio of fat, muscle, and bone mass. It plays a particularly important role in the treatment of obesity (obesity medicine), where accurate measurement of fat percentage, visceral fat and muscle mass helps to develop personalized treatment plans, as well as in oncological diagnostics, where it is used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment (e.g., changes in muscle mass) and to reduce the risk of osteoporosis
