Standard bone density measurement of lumbar spine and hip for osteoporosis assessment.
Standard dual-site bone mineral density measurement of lumbar spine and proximal femur. Provides T-score and Z-score for both sites — the most clinically relevant combination for osteoporosis diagnosis and fracture risk prediction per WHO guidelines.
Key Details
Who Is This For?
Anyone interested in understanding their body composition beyond what a scale can tell you. Fitness enthusiasts and athletes tracking muscle gain and fat loss over time. People on weight management programs who want objective progress measurements. Those over 50 or with risk factors for osteoporosis wanting bone density screening. Longevity-focused individuals establishing baseline measurements for body composition optimization.
What's Included
Preparation Required
No fasting required. Wear comfortable, lightweight clothing without metal components (zippers, belt buckles, underwire). Remove all jewelry and metal accessories. Stay well-hydrated — dehydration can slightly affect body composition readings. Avoid intense exercise for 24 hours before the scan, as fluid shifts can influence results. The scan itself takes approximately 10–20 minutes and is painless. You'll lie still on an open table while the scanner arm passes over you.
