Dexa Scan

I haven't had this but have had a CT scan with contrast of hip/pelvis which was 'all clear'. Does this cover bone density can anyone tell me?

    the dexa scan is the quintessential bone density scan. The one I had a month ago was amazingly simple and quick. No tight spaces or weird noises. It was so easy and quick, I had the feeling I had not gotten my money's worth (Joke).

      Thank you all for your very knowledgable replies. Maybe one day we will get the tests and treatment that is needed without a fight. I shall go to my local PMR/GCA meeting tomorrow and see if I can help to make any changes needed to this end.
