Preparing for your DEXA Whole Body Composition scan is straightforward and effortless. Since the procedure is non-invasive and quick, minimal preparation is required to ensure accurate readings. Following these simple steps helps optimize scan accuracy and ensures a smooth, comfortable experience from start to finish. The following guide explains what to expect before, during, and after your DEXA appointment at DHA and DOH-certified centers across Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
| Stage | Preparation Tips & Expectations |
|---|---|
| Before the Scan | You don’t need to fast or change your daily routine before a DEXA scan. However, avoid taking calcium or vitamin D supplements for 24 hours before your appointment, as they can influence bone density readings. Wear comfortable, light clothing without metal zippers or buttons, and remove jewelry, watches, or belts before the procedure. Inform the technician if you are pregnant, recently had contrast imaging, or underwent any medical procedure involving barium, as these may temporarily affect scan accuracy. Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to complete a short health questionnaire and relax before the test. |
| During the Scan | The scan itself is painless and takes around 10 to 20 minutes. You’ll be asked to lie flat on a padded table while the scanner’s arm moves slowly above your body. It captures detailed images of your bones, muscle tissue, and fat distribution using low-dose X-rays. You may be asked to remain still or hold your breath briefly for the clearest readings. The room is quiet and temperature-controlled to ensure comfort. Certified technicians monitor the process closely, ensuring precise and consistent data collection throughout. |
| After the Scan | Once your scan is complete, you can immediately resume your normal activities — there’s no recovery period or restrictions. Your scan data is processed through advanced software that calculates total body fat percentage, bone density, and lean mass distribution. The results are then reviewed by medical specialists to ensure clinical accuracy. Within hours, your detailed report will be securely shared via HealthBooking.ae, allowing you to review your results or forward them to your doctor, nutritionist, or fitness coach. |
