In our radiology department in Heinsberg, we offer the only recognised and reliable technique for determining bone density.
\nWith advancing age, there is naturally a decrease in bone mass and therefore also in bone density. We use Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) to recognise the risk of bone fractures at an early stage, particularly in people with reduced bone density.<\/p>

The DEXA technique, also known as osteodensitometry, DXA or DPX, is a medical-technical procedure for determining bone density or the calcium salt content of bones. This procedure, which is recommended by medical associations worldwide, is considered the most reliable for assessing bone strength and fracture risk.<\/p>

Bone density measurement using DEXA is a fast, precise and non-invasive diagnostic tool for detecting osteoporosis and osteopenia (reduction in bone density before osteoporosis occurs).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Before examination<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
You will receive a medical history form. Please answer the questions carefully. Based on the answers, we can better assess the fracture risk together with the measurement.<\/div>\n

    \n \t
  • Medication:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Inform our medical staff about any medication and dietary supplements you are taking, as some substances can affect bone density.<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    • Instructions<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWe try to make the examination as pleasant as possible for you, but we need your co-operation to produce the best possible images. You will receive instructions and support from our staff for this purpose. Please follow these instructions as closely as possible to ensure the best possible quality of the images and to avoid repeat images.\n
        \n \t
      • Positioning:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nYou will lie on a comfortable examination couch. The part of the body to be examined - usually the hip and\/or spine - will be positioned correctly to ensure accurate measurements.\n
          \n \t
        • Keep still:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIt is important to lie still during the measurement in order to obtain clear and precise images.\n
