    Default what is a dexascan? (survey question)

    I just want to know what you think it is. It doesn't matter if you know what it is or not. It's for a survey. So don't go looking it up.

    So, what do you think a dexascan is?

    What an odd question.

    Is it for some kind of medical class?

    Dexascans are used to test for things like osteoperosis and bone mineral density. It can also test for people who have brittle bone's and to see if they'll need more supplements or not. My grandmothers had a couple of these done. It's basically a lower done X-ray that changes it's frequency to check density.

    In reality it's two words, because DEXA is short for a big long thing I can't remember but the X stands for X-ray, and scan.. well.. that should be obvious.

    Something to do with X-Ray's if I remember correctly.
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

    It sounds like something used to measure dexterity. I can't really tell without looking it up. I'm sorry.
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    A dexa scan is used in the radiography profession to assess the density of the bones! I only know this because I'm a health and social care student, though.

    Is it a ten sided shape? Wild guess...I really don't know the answer, without looking it up.
