A bone density scan is a non-invasive test that measures bone density. It may help doctors assess bone strength and fracture risk, especially because bone loss can occur without obvious symptoms. The most common type of bone density scan is a DEXA scan. It uses a low level of X-ray to measure bone mineral content, usually at the hip and spine.

Bone density refers to the amount of mineral content in bone. It helps indicate how strong or fragile bones may be and is one factor used to assess fracture risk. Bones can feel normal even when bone density has decreased. This is why bone density testing may be considered when there are risk factors for bone loss, fractures, or hormone-related conditions that may affect bone health.
