How does DEXA scan technology work?
DEXA uses two X-ray beams with different energy levels to measure bone mineral density. The machine calculates the difference between how much radiation is absorbed by bone versus soft tissue, providing precise measurements of bone strength and density.
What do DEXA scan results mean?
DEXA results are reported as T-scores and Z-scores. A T-score of -1.0 or above is normal, -1.0 to -2.5 indicates osteopenia (low bone mass), and below -2.5 suggests osteoporosis. Your doctor will explain what these numbers mean for your specific situation.
Can DEXA scans detect other health conditions?
While primarily used for bone density, DEXA scans can also reveal vertebral fractures, assess body composition including muscle mass and fat distribution, and help monitor changes in bone health over time. This comprehensive data aids in overall health assessment.

Everything you need to know about our DEXA scanning services
Why do I need a DEXA Scan?
A DEXA scan is recommended for measuring bone density to diagnose osteoporosis and assess fracture risk. It's also valuable for analyzing body composition, including fat distribution and muscle mass, making it useful for both medical diagnosis and fitness tracking.
How long does it take to get DEXA scan results?
DEXA scan results are typically available within 24-48 hours. Your comprehensive report will include detailed measurements of bone density and/or body composition, along with expert analysis and recommendations. For urgent cases, same-day results may be available at select locations.
How is a DEXA scan performed?
A DEXA scan is a quick, painless procedure that uses very low-dose X-rays to measure bone density or body composition. You'll lie still on a padded table while the scanner arm passes over your body. The entire process typically takes 10-20 minutes, depending on the areas being scanned. You'll remain fully clothed, though you may need to remove metal items. Our experienced technologists will guide you through the entire process, ensuring your comfort and answering any questions.
