What to Expect: Bone Density Scan (DEXA)

A DEXA scan takes 10-20 minutes. You lie on a padded table while a scanning arm passes over your body, usually measuring the spine and hip. The radiation dose is very low — less than a chest X-ray. No preparation is needed, but avoid calcium supplements for 24 hours before the test. Results are given as a T-score, which your doctor will explain.
