A physician may recommend the DEXA if you are experiencing general symptoms such as persistent fatigue, unexplained changes in weight or metabolism, or as part of a routine health screening. It is also used to monitor the effectiveness of ongoing medical treatments.

Preparation requirements vary depending on the specific test parameters. For most blood-based diagnostic tests, fasting for 8 to 12 hours (no food or drink except water) is recommended. Please consult your physician or contact our support team for exact guidelines.

This test measures specific chemical compounds, cellular structures, or hormonal levels in your sample to provide diagnostic indicators for metabolic or systemic health.
Most routine test results are processed and delivered securely to you within 24 to 48 hours from the time of sample collection.
Fasting guidelines depend on the individual biomarkers. It is highly recommended to confirm the requirements with the lab coordinator when booking.

DEXA is commonly used to assess:

  • Bone mineral density (BMD).
  • Osteoporosis and fracture risk.
  • Osteopenia (low bone mass).
  • Body fat percentage and lean muscle mass.
  • Visceral fat distribution (body composition scans).
  • If osteoporosis or bone loss is suspected.
  • If there is history of fractures.
  • If monitoring osteoporosis treatment.
  • If assessing body composition and fitness progress.
  • If evaluating postmenopausal or age-related bone health.
    • Fasting: Not required.
    • Avoid calcium supplements for 24 hours before the scan if instructed.
    • Wear comfortable clothing without metal.
    • Inform provider if pregnant or recently had contrast imaging.
    • Follow all radiology center instructions carefully.
