Low Dose Digital X-Ray
An X-ray is an image obtained by exposing a human body part to an electromagnetic wave called ‘X-ray’. Obtaining an X-ray​ is much like obtaining a photograph, except that X-ray is used instead of light wave. Light is reflected off the skin, therefore, it produces an image of the exterior of the body.

Dexa stands for Dual Energy Xray Absorptiometry. This is a unique examination where a very low dose Xray is passed through the entire body. The detector then measures reflections of the Xray and accurately measures the composition of the body.
