What can I expect during my appointment?
On the day of your DexaFit scan, here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure everything goes smoothly:
Pre-Scan Preparations: Limit physical activity (no exercise, please!) and stay hydrated. Fast for at least two hours prior to your scan.
Dress Appropriately: Wear workout clothes without metal. Small buttons or zippers are fine. Don’t forget your socks!
Metal and Jewelry: You’ll be asked to empty your pockets and remove metal items like watches, belts, glasses, and jewelry.
During the Scan: Relax on an open-air DEXA scan table. The process is quick and uses minimal radiation, equivalent to about four bananas worth of exposure, or a few hours of natural background radiation.
Contrast Agents: Avoid gastrointestinal contrast, barium, or other contrast mediums, and radionuclides within 48 hours of your appointment.
The DexaFit scan is a straightforward, non-invasive procedure designed for your comfort and convenience, providing valuable insights into your body composition.
