BMD - Whole Body
The BMD – Whole Body test is an advanced diagnostic scan that evaluates bone mineral density throughout the entire body. It provides a comprehensive assessment of bone strength and helps detect early signs of bone loss or osteoporosis.
This test is performed using DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry), a precise and non-invasive imaging technique. In addition to bone density, whole body scans can also provide information about body composition, including fat mass and lean muscle mass distribution.
Whole body BMD is particularly useful for individuals requiring a complete evaluation of skeletal health, athletes, and patients with systemic conditions affecting bones. It helps in identifying fracture risk, monitoring bone health over time, and guiding treatment decisions.
Regular assessment supports early diagnosis and effective management of bone-related conditions.
Test Recommended For
