DEXA Bone Densitometry is an imaging test that measures bone density using low-dose X-rays, helping diagnose conditions like osteoporosis and assess fracture risk.

Wear loose clothing without metal fasteners, and inform your healthcare provider about any medications or recent X-rays.

No, the test is non-invasive and painless. It involves lying on a table while the scanner takes images of your bones.

The scanning process typically takes 10-15 minutes. You will need to remain still during the scan.

Results are usually available within a day or two after the scan. Your healthcare provider will discuss the results and any necessary follow-up.

Recovery time varies but typically involves several weeks of rest and rehabilitation. Full recovery can take several months, depending on the surgery’s complexity.

The S. IgA Test measures Immunoglobulin A levels to assess immune function and diagnose immune disorders.

No special preparation is required. You can eat and drink normally before the test.

A blood sample is collected from a vein in your arm, which is then analyzed for IgA levels.

Low levels may suggest an IgA deficiency or other immune system disorders.

Results are typically available within a few hours to one day, depending on the lab’s processing time.
