A DEXA or a bone density scan requires a low dose of <\/span>X-rays<\/span><\/a><\/span> to view how dense, or strong the bones are in a human body. Osteoporosis, a condition often weakens bones, uses a bone density scan to diagnose. The scan is quicker, painless, and more effective in determining bone density than normal X-rays.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
