Bone density measurement Oslo - Dexa scan offers bone density measurement (DEXA) for assessment of bone mass and quality. The examination is designed to reveal the strength of the bone tissue as well as the risk of fracture. The measurements are carried out with a DXA device that has very low radiation, and the procedure takes about 15 minutes. It is possible to measure both the lumbar spine and thigh neck.
In order to have a bone density measurement carried out, a referral from a GP or specialist is required. The result of the examination may lead to consultation for further treatment and follow-up. The bone density measurements are carried out at Colosseumklinikken Medisinske Senter, which has an agreement with Helse-Sør-Öst.
