A Dual X-Ray Absorpitrometry is what is referred to as a DEXA Scan. DEXA Scans are body scans used to determine the bone mineral density (BMD) of a patient’s spine or extremities. These are performed to detect the early stage of or the existence of osteoporosis, a progressive bone disease that decreases bone density to the point where bones can fracture easily and abnormally. A DEXA Scan is also utilized to measure the total body composition and fat content of a patient with a high degree of accuracy.
Once you have scheduled a DEXA Scan near you, there are a few things to do in preparation. First, ensure that the patient receiving the scan does not have an exam requiring the use of contrast prior to the DEXA Scan. The contrast can affect the ability of the technology to accurately scan the body so it’s important to leave those exams for after the DEXA. Aside from regular appointment etiquette, patients receiving a DEXA scan should avoid taking any calcium, vitamins, or antacids for 24 hours prior to the scan.
