DEXA scans, explained.

Understand the appointment

DEXA stands for dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Body composition appointments and bone-density investigations can have different purposes and booking requirements. Ask the provider which service they offer.

Before you book

Ask what the price includes and whether you receive a report, an explanation of the results or a follow-up appointment. Confirm any referral and preparation requirements directly.

• What is the total appointment cost?
• Who explains the report?
• What should I tell the clinic before attending?
