Can a DEXA scan show arthritis or other bone conditions?
A DEXA scan is designed to measure bone density rather than diagnose arthritis or other joint problems. However, it can sometimes show signs of wear and tear in the spine or hips that may suggest arthritis. If needed, your specialist may recommend additional scans, such as an MRI, for a clearer picture.
