A specialized test, called a bone mineral density (BMD) test, measures the density of bone in various parts of the body. Testing used at EWBC to measure bone density is the DXA* (Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry). This test measures the bone mineral density of the spine and hip. Once you have your test, your results are sent to the physician who ordered it. Bone Density testing is available at all our offices (Brighton, Geneseo, Greece and Victor).

Thanks for posting this video. I just finished surgery and radiation for breast cancer, and start tasking hormone therapy tomorrow. My medical oncologist wants me to take a bone density test in October. I've never had one. Seeing this vid makes me feel more comfortable!

I had a double lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node removal. I will be starting radiation treatments soon. I'm scheduled for a dexa test in two days. I will also be starting arimidex for ten years. How are you doing now? Any bad side effects from the meds? I'm concerned about all of it. Jennifer

I am scheduled for this test next week. I went through radiation last winter and this looks similar to the radiation except it is very low dose and the scanner moves up and down instead of around the person. This video has really put my mind to ease.

I suffer from vertigo, panic attacks and claustrophobia. This seems to be the easiest scan I can tolerate. Hope my Doc's office offers this one. Some of the other scans are too much like CAT scans which I would not be able to tolerate.

@joyr36 Год назад

@@9aspengold5 Some large cities offer stand up MRI's. I had brain MRI done in Charlotte NC because I have vertigo. It was the easiest MRI that I have ever had. I sat in a chair with a helmet type equipment on my head. I was able to watch TV with close captioned while they performed the scan. With some of the scans, they just have the person stand in a booth with the front of the booth open. It is an excellent procedure for people with claustrophobia.

If you watch the actions of the technologist, you can see how the body positioning is done with the pillow for the first part (spinal column) scan, and then with a different device to support the knees or have he knees lie flat on the X-ray table for the hip scan. Or you can ask the imaging center to provide the sign language interpreter to sign what the technologist says regarding the positioning steps before your DXA appt.
