Bone Mineral Density (BMD)

At Q Diagnostics, we offer accurate and painless Bone Mineral Density (BMD) scans to assess bone strength and detect early signs of osteoporosis or other bone-related conditions. A BMD test measures the amount of calcium and other minerals present in a specific segment of bone, helping doctors evaluate fracture risk and monitor bone health over time.

Our BMD scans are performed using DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) technology, the gold standard in bone density testing. The scan is typically done on the hip, spine, or forearm — the areas most prone to fracture. It’s a quick, low-radiation procedure and is especially recommended for women over 50, postmenopausal women, individuals with risk factors for osteoporosis, and those on long-term steroid therapy.

During the scan, patients lie comfortably on a padded table while the DEXA machine captures detailed images. The procedure takes about 10–15 minutes and requires no special preparation. Our expert radiologists interpret the results based on internationally accepted T-score standards, providing referring doctors with clear, actionable insights for further management.

Whether for preventive screening or follow-up care, Q Diagnostics is your trusted partner in bone health assessment. With precise technology, experienced staff, and a patient-first approach, our BMD services support early diagnosis and proactive treatment — helping you maintain strength, mobility, and quality of life as you age.
