What are the cold spots on a dexa scan?

Cold spots on a DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scan typically indicate areas of lower bone mineral density, which may suggest potential bone loss or osteoporosis. These areas appear darker compared to surrounding bone tissue on the scan images. Cold spots can help identify regions at higher risk for fractures and guide further evaluation or treatment. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for interpretation and implications of these findings.
