 ==Overview==
-The DEXA scan is the most important study used in the work-up of osteoporosis, and divides patients into three categories based on their level of bone density.
+There are no additional [[diagnostic]] findings for [[osteoporosis]].
-==Dual energy X-ray Absorptiometry==
-[[Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry]] (DXA, formerly DEXA) is considered the [[gold standard (test)|gold standard]] for the diagnosis of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is diagnosed when the [[bone mineral density]] is less than or equal to 2.5 standard deviations below that of a young adult reference population.  This is translated as a [[Bone mineral density#T-score|T-score]]. The [[World Health Organization]] has established the following diagnostic guidelines:<ref name="WHOcriteria">{{cite web | author=WHO Scientific Group on the Prevention and Management of Osteoporosis (2000 : Geneva, Switzerland) |url=http://whqlibdoc.who.int/trs/WHO_TRS_921.pdf |title=Prevention and management of osteoporosis : report of a WHO scientific group| year=2003 |accessdate=2007-05-31 |format=pdf |work=}}</ref>
-* [[Bone mineral density#T-score|T-score]] -1.0 or greater is "normal"
-* T-score between -1.0 and -2.5 is "low bone mass" (or "[[osteopenia]]")
-* T-score -2.5 or below is osteoporosis
-When there has also been an osteoporotic fracture (also termed "low trauma-fracture" or "fragility fracture"), defined as one that occurs as a result of a fall from a standing height, the term "severe or established" osteoporosis is used.
