Clinical DEXA Imaging for Bone Health and Body Composition

Bone Mineral Density (BMD)

Diagnostic DEXA assessments used to evaluate bone health, fracture risk, and response to treatment.

• Lumbar spine
• Hip
• Forearm (where clinically indicated)
• Trabecular Bone Score (TBS), when requested and appropriate

BMD examinations are performed in accordance with accepted clinical standards and are suitable for baseline assessment and ongoing clinical use.

Body Composition DXA

Quantitative DEXA assessment of body composition to support clinical decision-making where lean mass, fat mass, or fat distribution are relevant to patient management.

• Total and regional lean mass
• Fat mass and fat distribution
• Visceral adipose tissue
• Bone mineral content

Body composition DEXA is most useful where objective measurement assists with care planning, treatment adjustment, or evaluation of clinical progress.

Designed for Clinical Use

DEXA assessments are most valuable when results can be applied clearly within a clinical setting.

At Arekai Imaging, emphasis is placed on producing DEXA measurements that are technically robust, clinically relevant, and well suited to integration into patient care.

This principle informs how scans are acquired, reviewed, and reported.

Reporting

Referrers receive structured DEXA reports designed to support clinical decision-making.

Arekai Imaging delivers customised DEXA reports designed for clinicians, developed by practising specialists to support real-world clinical decision-making.

Reporting may include contextual reference ranges, relevant comparisons, and structured commentary aligned with the clinical question, supporting meaningful use of DEXA data in practice.

The intent of reporting is to provide clarity and support informed clinical judgement.

For Referring Practitioners

We work closely with referring practitioners to ensure DEXA examinations are clinically appropriate and aligned with active patient management.

Clear referral guidance is provided for both bone mineral density and body composition assessments, supporting efficient booking, approval, and reporting.
