DEXA Osteoporosis Scan
Carried out by Savion Nitzsche
DEXA Spine Scan Results
A spine scan, focusing on the lumbar spine, assesses bone mineral density (BMD), crucial for diagnosing osteoporosis and predicting fractures. It's particularly effective in evaluating vertebral fractures, which lead to pain, deformity, and height loss. Providing valuable insight into spine health, these scans are vital for maintaining skeletal integrity and mobility.
| Area (cm²) | BMC (g) | BMD (g/cm²) | T-Score | Z-Score | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| L1 | 18.26 | 19.67 | 1.078 | 0.0 | 0.4 |
| L2 | 17.88 | 20.22 | 1.131 | 0.3 | 0.7 |
| L3 | 20.11 | 24.36 | 1.211 | 1.0 | 1.4 |
| L4 | 19.25 | 23.33 | 1.212 | 1.1 | 1.5 |
| Total | 75.5 | 87.58 | 1.181 | 0.6 | 0.5 |
- The T-score shows how your bone density compares to the optimal peak bone density for your gender
- The Z-score shows how your bone density compares to the bone densities of others of the same age, gender, and ethnicity
- BMC (g) shows the bone mineral content in grams for each vertebra
DEXA Spine Scan Results
The T-score shows how your bone density compares to the optimal peak bone density of a 25 year old for your gender
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines osteoporosis and osteopenia based on T-scores:
- Normal bone density: T-score above -1 SD
- Osteopenia (low bone density): T-score between -1 and -2.5 SD
- Osteoporosis: T-score of -2.5 SD or lower
T-Score is 0.0. You have Normal Bone Density.
- The Graph above shows how your bone density compares to the bone densities of others of the same age, gender, and ethnicity
- The line through the middle shows the average for your age, with the section above showing above-average scores, and the section below showing below-average scores.
DEXA Hip Scan Results
Hip scans, designed to measure bone mineral density (BMD) specifically at the femoral neck, play a critical role in identifying osteoporosis-related fractures. These scans offer valuable insights into the risk of hip fractures, known for their severe repercussions like reduced mobility. Particularly crucial for older adults and individuals at risk of hip fractures, hip scans provide essential data concerning bone health in the hip region, aiding in proactive management and prevention strategies.
Breakdown
| Area (cm²) | BMC (g) | BMD (g/cm²) | T-Score | Z-Score | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Neck | 5.94 | 5.86 | 0.987 | 0.4 | 1.2 |
| Total | 41.98 | 49.57 | 1.181 | 1.0 | 1.3 |
Total BMD CV 1.0%, ACF = 1.046, BCF = 1.017, TH = 7.567
- Please Note: T scores and Z scores are not available for children or teenagers under 20 years old, and are less reliable for anyone over 85 years old.
- FRAX Scores can only be calculated for T score values above -2.5.
- FRAX Scores can only be calculated on hips.
DEXA Hip Scan Results
The graph below shows a pictorial representation of how your results compare to those of others in your age, sex, and ethnic group for comparison.
Bone Density
Based on the overall information contained in this report
your
WHO Classification is: Normal Bone Density.
Under 50 years of age bone density can still change, therefore T-scores and bone density classification may not be accurate.
T-Score is 0.4
Interpreting your Dexa Scan Results
BMC
BMC stands for Bone Mineral Content, and it is typically measured in grams (g). BMC refers to the total amount of minerals (primarily calcium and phosphorus) present in the bones. It is an important component of bone health assessment, along with bone mineral density (BMD).
BMD
BMD stands for Bone Mineral Density. It refers to the amount of mineral (primarily calcium and phosphorus) present in bone tissue, typically measured in grams per square centimetre (g/cm²) or grams per cubic centimetre (g/cm³). Bone mineral density is a key indicator of bone strength and density, providing valuable information about bone health.
