DEXA technology works by utilizing dual-energy X-rays to measure bone mineral density. It emits two different energy levels of X-rays, which penetrate the body and are differentially absorbed by bone and soft tissue. The detected X-rays are then analyzed by a computer to calculate the bone mineral density, providing an accurate assessment of bone health and fracture risk.
