I'm going to have a DEXA scan soon and I want to make sure I get accurate results. What should I avoid doing or eating before the scan to ensure that the measurements are as precise as possible?

    Avoid wearing clothing that has metal zippers, belts, or buttons. These metallic items can interfere with the scanning process and affect the accuracy of the results.

    On the morning of your exam, refrain from consuming any calcium supplements or Tums. These products can also impact the outcome of your DEXA scan.

    If you have recently undergone a barium study, you must wait for at least seven days before scheduling your DEXA scan. This waiting period ensures that the barium has fully cleared from your system.
