FAQ's
1. How accurate is a DEXA scan?
DEXA is the gold standard for measuring bone density and is highly accurate for body composition measurements.
2. How much does it cost?
See the pricing above. WorkCover, DVA and NDIS-funded options are also available.
3. How does it work?
Two low-dose X-ray beams pass through the body at different energy levels. By measuring how much each beam is absorbed, the scanner calculates fat, lean tissue and bone mass separately.
4. How long does a DEXA scan take?
The scan itself takes around 10 minutes, plus a short consultation to go through your results.
5. How do I prepare for a DEXA scan?
Wear comfortable clothing without metal zips, buttons, or underwire, and avoid calcium supplements for 24 hours beforehand. Let us know if there's any chance you could be pregnant, as DEXA scanning is not suitable during pregnancy.
