BONE DENSITY MEASUREMENT WITH DXA – THE GOLD STANDARD FOR OSTEOPOROSIS DIAGNOSIS

Applying advanced technology in bone health care

The Functional Diagnostics Department at TNH Viet Yen Hospital has officially implemented bone density measurement using DXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) as a routine service. This method is widely recognized by global medical experts as the “gold standard” for diagnosing osteoporosis, enabling early detection and effective monitoring of bone health.

Key advantages of DXA

DXA offers several outstanding benefits:

• High accuracy: Detects early bone loss even before clinical symptoms appear
• Safe and non-invasive: Uses an extremely low dose of X-rays (about one-tenth of a standard chest X-ray)
• Quick procedure: Completed in just 10–15 minutes
• Effective monitoring: Helps physicians accurately assess fracture risk and track treatment progress

Why osteoporosis should not be overlooked

Osteoporosis progresses silently and often has no obvious symptoms in its early stages. Without timely detection and treatment, it can lead to serious consequences:

• Fragile bones that fracture easily, even with minor injuries
• Spinal deformities, vertebral compression, and chronic pain
• Increased risk of hip fractures, especially in the elderly, potentially leading to disability or prolonged immobility

Who should undergo DXA screening?

To protect bone health, experts recommend regular screening for:

• Individuals aged 50 and above
• Postmenopausal women
• People at high risk of osteoporosis or with a history of fractures

Proactively protect your skeletal health

Early bone density testing is the most effective way to maintain strong bones and a healthy spine—the foundation that supports the entire body. Regular screening not only helps detect disease early but also supports personalized treatment plans, improving overall quality of life.
