A DEXA scan is quite simple and is more accurate than a 'regular' X-ray for measuring bone density in patients. In addition to being less expensive than other tests, a DEXA scan will also expose a patient to less radiation than a CT scan or radiographic absorptiometry.

I had this Dexa scan last month and good thing the result is normal. If your planning to have an x-ray or maybe CT Scan. Dexa Scan would be better. just ask your physician if they perform this.
