A bone density scan, or dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan, typically focuses on specific areas of the body, most commonly the lower spine and hips, to assess bone mineral density. It does not scan the entire body; instead, it targets regions that are most indicative of osteoporosis and fracture risk. Some advanced scans may include additional sites, but a full-body scan is not standard practice for bone density assessment.
