The DEXA experience
Before your test, fast for 6 hours (including caffeine), avoid intense exercise for 12 hours, and refrain from nicotine and alcohol. Remember to wear comfortable athletic clothing and running sneakers.
As you lie still on the DEXA machine, it emits low-level x-rays to differentiate between your fat, muscle, and bone.

Common questions
How much does a DEXA scan in NYC cost?
At Extension Health’s NYC clinic, you can choose from three different DEXA appointment types:
-
DEXA Body Composition Scan (from $250)
- DEXA Bone Density Scan (from $250)
- DEXA Body Composition and Bone Density Scan (from $400)
Are DEXA scans safe?
DEXA scans are generally considered safe and use lower level x-rays than other types of imaging machines.
Who should not get a DEXA scan?
DEXA scans are not recommended if you are pregnant.
Why is tracking my body fat over time important?
Regular DEXA scan body fat measurement can help you identify potential chronic risks. For example, if your visceral fat percentage grows from year to year, it may indicate that your risk for developing metabolic conditions is increasing.
Assessing body fat from BMI alone can be challenging. If you aim to reduce body fat and increase muscle mass for better longevity or training, DEXA scans offer a detailed breakdown of your weight distribution, helping you determine if adjustments to your fitness and lifestyle regimen are needed.
What should I wear to my DEXA scan?
Wear loose, comfortable clothing to your DEXA scan appointment.
Do I have to fast before my appointment?
We recommend fasting for four hours and avoiding calcium pills for 24 hours before your scan.
How frequently should I get a DEXA scan?
Recommendations for how frequently you should book a DEXA scan depend on your age, risk factors and health goals.
