What is a DEXA scan?
A bone density scan, also called DEXA or DXA, uses low-dose X-rays to measure bone mineral density. It is commonly used to assess bone strength and help identify osteoporosis. Health New Zealand: Bone density scan (DEXA)
Referral
Health New Zealand states that public DEXA scans need a referral from a doctor or other health professional. Private services may accept either a referral or a self-referral. Booking rules vary by clinic.
Time and preparation
A DEXA scan usually takes 10 to 30 minutes. The exact appointment process depends on the clinic and the body area being examined.
Who pays
DEXA is publicly funded when referred for a clinical reason such as osteoporosis risk. Private scans are self-paid or covered by insurance.
