How much does a Bone Density scan cost in London W1G 7HP?

Do I need a doctor's referral?
No. You book and pay directly on DEXASCAN.COM and choose two preferred appointment times. Your requests are sent to DEXA London at purchase, and your appointment instructions are emailed to you afterward. Times are not guaranteed; if neither is available, your appointment can be moved to another DEXASCAN.COM location nearby.
How long does it take and how do I prepare?
Plan on about 10 minutes. For the DEXA scan, wear comfortable clothes with no metal (zippers, underwire, jewelry), stay normally hydrated, and skip a big meal or hard workout for 2–3 hours beforehand.
What will my results show?
You get a report covering body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, visceral (belly) fat, regional fat distribution and bone density, broken down by arms, legs and trunk. Most people repeat the test every 8–12 weeks to track progress.
Is a DEXA scan safe?
Yes. A body composition DEXA scan uses a very low X-ray dose, roughly equal to a few hours of natural background radiation. It is not recommended during pregnancy.

THIS PURCHASE IS FOR THE BONE DENSITY SCANS ONLY. IT DOES NOT OFFER A BODY COMPOSITION MEASUREMENT (MUSCLE MASS, BODY FAT OR VISCERAL FAT).
THE BONE DENSITY (DEXA) TEST
A bone density test uses DEXA (DXA, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) to measure bone mineral density (BMD), usually at the lower spine and hip. It is the standard test for diagnosing osteoporosis and osteopenia and for estimating fracture risk. It is quick, painless and uses a very low dose of X-ray while you lie on an open table.
Understanding your results
T-SCORE - compares your bone density with a healthy young adult. -1.0 or higher is normal; between -1.0 and -2.5 is low bone mass (osteopenia); -2.5 or lower is osteoporosis.
Z-SCORE - compares you with people of your own age and sex. It is used mainly for premenopausal women, men under 50 and younger adults; a Z-score of -2.0 or lower is below the expected range for your age.
FRACTURE RISK - many providers combine your results with risk factors (FRAX) to estimate your 10-year chance of a hip or other major fracture.
Who should consider a bone density test
Guidelines generally recommend testing women 65 and older, younger postmenopausal women with risk factors, and men 70 and older (or 50-69 with risk factors). Risk factors include a fracture after age 50, long-term steroid use, early menopause, low body weight or significant weight loss, smoking, heavy drinking, rheumatoid arthritis and a parent who broke a hip. Osteoporosis has no symptoms until a bone breaks, so testing is the only way to know.
How to prepare
Skip calcium supplements for 24 hours before your scan, wear clothes without metal, and tell the staff if you recently had a barium or contrast exam or might be pregnant. To track changes, repeat the test on the same scanner, typically every 1-2 years or as your doctor advises.
Bone density vs. body composition: a bone density scan focuses on your hip and spine and does not report body fat, lean muscle or visceral fat. For those numbers, book a whole-body DEXA body composition scan.
