Did you know a DEXA scan is not just for adults?
A child may need a DEXA scan if they have:
• a medical condition that could weaken their bones,
• low bone density (osteopenia), or
• a recent fracture after a minor injury
Your child’s GP or Specialist is the best person to offer you guidance. General information can be found here: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/osteoporosis-in-children
