A bone mineral density test, or DXA Scan, is one of the most accurate ways of assessing your bone health. A DXA scan measures your bone loss over time and can detect osteoporosis, which is a disease of the bones that causes bones to be weak and break easily. Doctors use the results of the test to evaluate your risk for fractures.  At MD Anderson we use dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, which uses x-rays to measure bone density in the hip and spine, and occasionally in the forearm.
