This bone density scan is a quick and painless procedure that involves lying on your back on an X-ray
table as your body will be scanned. A DEXA scan typically takes about 10 minutes.
On the day of your DEXA Scan at SMIL, you should wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes. You will be
asked to remove any articles of clothing that may contain metal, such as belts, glasses, jewelry or
removable dental appliances that may interfere with the x-ray images.
