Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
UrgentCare2Go
What is a DXA scan?
A DXA scan is a non-invasive imaging test that measures bone density to assess the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
Who should get a bone density test?
Adults at risk for osteoporosis, postmenopausal women, individuals with family history of fractures, and patients with certain medical conditions or medications should consider a DXA scan.
Is the DXA scan safe?
Yes. The procedure uses low-dose X-rays and is considered safe for most patients.
How do I prepare for a bone density scan?
Wear comfortable clothing without metal. Avoid calcium supplements on the day of the scan, and inform your provider about medications or conditions that may affect results.
How long does a DXA scan take?
The scan typically takes 10–20 minutes, depending on the areas being evaluated.
Can children undergo DXA scans?
Yes, DXA scans can be performed for pediatric patients when clinically indicated, but protocols differ from adults.
Will my insurance cover a DXA scan?
Many insurance plans cover bone density testing, especially for at-risk adults. Coverage varies, so check with your provider.
Can in-home DXA scans be performed?
Yes, mobile DXA scanning is available through UrgentCare2Go, providing convenience for patients who cannot visit a clinic.
How are results interpreted?
Results include T-scores and Z-scores, which indicate bone density compared to young adults or age-matched peers. Clinicians provide guidance based on these scores.
What follow-up is recommended after a DXA scan?
Follow-up depends on results. Patients may receive recommendations for lifestyle changes, supplements, medications, or periodic repeat scans.
How often should I repeat a bone density test?
Frequency depends on age, risk factors, and previous results. Typically, scans are repeated every 1–3 years if at risk.
Does virtual consultation affect DXA testing?
Virtual consultations allow clinicians to review medical history, discuss risk, and plan in-home or in-clinic DXA testing.
