What is a DEXA Scan Report?
A DEXA scan (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is a medical imaging test used to measure bone mineral density and body composition. It helps healthcare professionals assess bone strength, diagnose osteoporosis, and evaluate body fat and lean mass distribution.
DEXA scan reports contain detailed metrics such as bone mineral density, T-scores, Z-scores, body fat percentage, lean mass, and regional body composition. These results help physicians monitor bone health and track changes in body composition over time.
Processing DEXA scan reports manually can be time-consuming and error-prone. Automating data extraction with AI-powered OCR helps healthcare providers, research teams, and wellness clinics capture critical health metrics quickly and integrate them into electronic medical records (EMR), analytics platforms, or reporting systems.
