What should I do before my DEXA scan?

Before your appointment, you can ensure a safe and precise DEXA scan by: Informing your provider if you have had a recent barium exam or CT scan with contrast. Discussing any supplements or medications you’re taking, especially calcium, with your provider. Avoiding taking calcium supplements for 24 hours before the test. Wear comfortable clothing and avoid wearing jewelry, belts, or clothing with metal to prevent interference with the scan. Reach out to a member of our team before your appointment if you have any questions about how to properly prepare or what to expect when getting a DEXA scan in Miami Beach at SM Concierge Medicine.

Does my DEXA scan only measure bone density?

No, DEXA scans can also measure your body fat percentage, lean body mass, and visceral fat. We can use all this information to help you build a care plan and make lifestyle recommendations that promote longevity. The knowledge we gain from your DEXA scan is crucial in preventing diseases and injuries. At SM Concierge Medicine, we can provide you with a DEXA scan in Miami Beach to help learn more about your body’s current condition and how you can add quality years to your life.

What can cause low bone density?

Some factors that can lower your bone density include: Genetics Calcium intake Vitamin D intake Physical activity Body weight Previous fractures and other injuries Prescription medications Smoking Heavy alcohol use For girls who have just begun puberty or women who will soon start menopause, these hormonal changes can lower bone density. Reach out to our professionals to learn how you can improve and maintain optimal bone density.

How it Works

A DEXA scan is a noninvasive test that measures bone mineral density to assess the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. DEXA stands for dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. It uses low-dose X-rays to evaluate bone strength, helping doctors diagnose bone-related conditions and monitor treatment effectiveness over time.

I have never encountered a doctor who has cared so much about a patient. Dr. Maghidman has been the best doctor anyone could have asked for. He has shown this many times throughout my health issues. He literally has called me every single day until I completely recover from whatever illness my body was fighting. Not many doctors respond to your texts at all hours of the day. My family has been fortunate to have found him.
