Assess Your Bone Health with Confidence. DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is the gold standard for measuring bone mineral density. The examination is quick, painless and uses an extremely low dose of radiation. At The Radiology Company, we're committed to delivering more than answers—we provide valuable insights into your long-term health. Our MedixDR Whole Body DEXA System combines exceptional precision with advanced imaging technology to assess bone health, osteoporosis risk, and comprehensive body composition in a single, low-dose examination. Whether monitoring bone mineral density, evaluating fracture risk, or analysing muscle, fat, and visceral adipose tissue, this state-of-the-art system delivers fast, accurate, and highly detailed results. With rapid scan times, outstanding image quality, and advanced analytical capabilities, the MedixDR empowers our specialists to deliver personalised, evidence-based care that supports better health, informed decision-making, and improved outcomes at every stage of your health journey. | Examinations We Perform RADIATION DOSES ARE UP TO 84 TIMES LOWER THAN OUR COMPETITORS. Multi-Site Exams | Perform multi-site examinations, including - AP spine, forearm, hip, dual hip, etc.
- Bone Mineral Density (BMD)

| Advanced Morphometric Tools | Morphometric tools help measure and evaluate significant predictors of fracture in all available scanning functions and aid in therapeutic monitoring. Easily print-out patient results to guarantee therapeutic monitoring. | Digital Vertebral Assessment | DVA | In both Lateral and AP projections DVA provides a low dose, lateral image to view all the vertebrae of the spine. Deformation or compression is precisely diagnosed, measured and classified. This analysis can be either automatic using the Genant’s semi-quantitative classification, or manual using the Genant’s visual classification. | Automated Hip Structural Analysis | HSA | Measure and evaluate fracture risk information: - Hip Axis Length (HAL)
- Femoral Neck Axis Length (FNAL)
- Intertrochanter to Femoral Head Center Distance (IH) and Femoral axis versus Neck axis Angle (FNA).
| FRAX® Tool | Evaluate the 10 year probability of osteoporotic fractures and intervention thresholds with the FRAX® tool. | Paediatrics | Measure - BMD
- BMC
- Area and Body composition
- Calculate Z-score and compare skeletal age.
| Data Importation | Evaluate patient trending by importing previous reports or data from any other bone densitometry unit. | Multi-Report Function | Consolidate or tile 4 exams at once to compare results with the multi-reporting feature. Print, export to PDF, or email reports with ease. | Orthopaedics | Measure BMD around the prosthesis, enabling smart implant management. Available for - hand
- forearm
- elbow
- shoulder
- spine
- hip
- AP knee, lateral knee
- feet.
- Automatic detection of ROI for hip, knee and lateral knee exams.
