Having a DEXA scan at Elizabeth Wende Breast Care
Dr. Posy Seifert explains what you know and what to expect with your DEXA scan at Elizabeth Wende Breast Care
It’s a type of medical imaging test that uses very low levels of X-rays to measure how dense your bones are.
Bone density tests are recommended for people who have or are at risk of developing osteoporosis or fractures - postmenopausal women, people with medical conditions associated with bone loss, or anyone considering
Osteoporosis treatment.
With your DEXA scan, we can also measure your TBS, or trabecular bone score. That’s the central spongy part of the bone that provides structural support. TBS gives us even more information about your bone quality and fracture risks. Once the results are in, our EWBC physician radiologists will interpret them and make them available for you on our EWBC patient portal.
What does a DEXA scan involve? It’s a quick 10-minute procedure where you lay back on an X-ray table so an area of your body can be scanned. Typical areas are the lower spine, hips, forearm, or wrist.
You can wear something comfortable, but you'll need to remove any clothes that have metal snaps, like zippers, underwire bras, hooks or buckles.
You can eat as usual, just don’t take calcium supplements or antacids 24 hours prior.
Before you schedule a DEXA scan with EWBC, you’ll need a referral from your primary care provider. Check with your insurance provider to see what coverage you may have.

After about a week, I was able to put my arm down without the stuffed animal. It definitely still felt like I had a grapefruit in my armpit, but it no longer felt like a grapefruit with spikes- ya know? Physically, I couldn’t see any swelling, but I certainly felt it for about two weeks before going back to normal. I had no other symptoms.
