Dexa (DXA) Scan stands for Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry. This means that the scan uses two (dual) X-ray beams to scan your body in a thorough yet noninvasive way. This scan provides a complete breakdown of your body composition, including lean tissue, body fat percentage, and bone mineral density. After a scan, you and your exercise physiologist will review your results with recommendations to better your health. How long does a Dexa Scan take? The DXA Scan itself is brief, taking between 7-12 minutes to completely and accurately test your body composition. Positioning can take a minute or two longer depending on your body type. The two X-ray beams scan your body from top to bottom, carefully measuring your bone density, muscle composition, as well as the amount of fat you carry and how it is distributed throughout your body.
