For a spine plus femur DEXA scan, the effective dose varies from less than 1 μSv to about 15 μSv. In pencil beam systems the dose is generally less than 1 μSv, while values between 1 to 10 μSv have been reported for fan beam systems.

Radiation Dose to Adults From Common Imaging Examinations. For the most current information, visit radiologyinfo.org. 05.22. Note: This chart simplifies a highly complex topic for patients’ informational use. The effective doses are typical values for an average-sized adult.
20 Φεβ 2024 · DEXA (dual x-ray absorptiometry) scans measure bone density (thickness and strength of bones) by passing a high- and low-energy x-ray beam (a form of ionizing radiation) through the body, usually in the hip and the spine.
Bone densitometry, also called dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, DEXA or DXA, uses a very small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body (usually the lower (or lumbar) spine and hips) to measure bone loss.
20 Νοε 2020 · Here are some effective doses associated with DEXA and a few other exams in diagnostic radiology for comparison: DEXA—Lumbar spine and hip 0.001 mSv; DEXA—Whole body 0.003 mSv; Extremity (hand, foot, etc.) x ray—0.001 mSv; Dental X Ray—0.005 mSv; Chest X Ray—0.1 mSv; Spine Computed Tomography (CT) Scan—6 mSv; Abdomen and Pelvis CT ...
» What is the typical staff dose from a DXA examination? The dose to staff in DXA facilities is generally small. However, new developments in DXA imaging technology (fan beam, cone beam, C-arm configurations) can result in larger scattered exposure levels.
20 Μαΐ 2024 · DEXA is relatively inexpensive, with notably shorter scan times and lower radiation exposure compared to other imaging modalities, and there is a long-standing consensus regarding guidelines for interpreting DEXA images.
