Preparation For DEXA Scans
Depending on the type of DEXA scan you're having, the preparations can differ slightly. However, there is generally not much that you'll need to do to get ready for your scan. You might be asked to wear a medical gown, avoid eating and drinking for a few hours beforehand, or stop taking calcium supplements the day before your appointment. It's best to wear soft, comfortable clothing that doesn't have metallic zips or fastenings.
The Procedure
A DEXA scanner has a flat bed with an arm above it. If you're being tested for osteoporosis, you'll be asked to lie down, sometimes with your legs elevated on a block or cushion or with your foot in a strap so that your hip is rotated in a certain position. Full body DEXA scans usually just require you to lie flat. The scanner arm will be positioned over the area being scanned, and the procedure is quick and pain-free. It lasts just a few minutes.
How Long Does It Take?
A DEXA scan can be completed in under a minute - the scan itself is very quick. However, appointments typically last around 20 minutes to allow time to scan different body areas in different positions to ensure accurate results.
When You Will Receive Results
Your DEXA scan results will be compiled into a written report. This will be emailed to you within 7-10 working days, often sooner depending on your chosen scanning centre. Our clinicians are available for a post-scan consultation to discuss your results and next steps.
