Bone Densitometry (DEXA) in Cameroon
Available Bone Densitometry (DEXA) Models

Bone Densitometry, most commonly performed using Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA), is the gold standard imaging technique for assessing bone mineral density (BMD). It is a non-invasive procedure that utilizes low-dose X-rays to measure the calcium and mineral content in specific skeletal sites. DEXA technology differentiates bone from soft tissue, providing precise and reliable measurements of bone strength and structural integrity. This makes it an indispensable tool in the diagnosis and management of bone-related conditions, particularly osteoporosis.

Bone densitometry (DEXA) is a vital diagnostic tool for a range of healthcare facilities and departments across Cameroon. Its ability to accurately measure bone mineral density (BMD) makes it indispensable for identifying osteoporosis and assessing fracture risk. Primarily, teaching hospitals and larger regional hospitals are crucial hubs for DEXA services due to their comprehensive diagnostic capabilities and patient volumes. These institutions often house Endocrinology, Rheumatology, and Geriatrics departments, all of which have a high demand for BMD assessment. Furthermore, Orthopedic departments utilize DEXA to evaluate bone health before and after surgical procedures, as well as to monitor treatment efficacy. Even well-equipped private clinics and specialized diagnostic centers catering to a discerning clientele are increasingly investing in DEXA technology to offer advanced osteoporosis screening and management.

Understanding the cost of Bone Densitometry (DEXA) scans in Cameroon is crucial for healthcare providers planning their diagnostic budgets. While prices can fluctuate based on the specific clinic or hospital, location within Cameroon (e.g., Douala, Yaoundé, or smaller towns), and the equipment's modernity, you can generally expect a DEXA scan to range from approximately 30,000 FCFA to 80,000 FCFA. This price typically covers a single scan of key areas like the hip and lumbar spine, which are most indicative of osteoporosis risk.

Several factors can influence these figures. Larger, well-equipped private hospitals in major cities might charge at the higher end of this spectrum due to overheads and advanced technology. Conversely, smaller diagnostic centers or public health facilities might offer more competitive pricing. It's also worth noting that some facilities may offer package deals or discounts for patients undergoing multiple tests or referred through specific health insurance plans.

When budgeting, consider that this price point generally represents the scan itself. Additional charges might apply for physician consultations, detailed reports, or if specific follow-up procedures are recommended. We advise contacting multiple facilities directly to obtain the most accurate and up-to-date pricing for your specific needs in Cameroon.
