Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) Scan
EMU Students: $75 | Staff/Faculty/Community: $90
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA or DEXA) is a non-invasive scan that uses X-rays to measure bone mineral density and body composition. It is considered the 'gold standard' and provides the most accurate and reliable results possible. This full body scan takes about 10 minutes to perform and provides information such as:
- Total Body Fat Percentage
- Android and Gynoid Fat Percentage
- Lean Body Mass, Fat Mass, and Fat-Free Mass in lbs.
- Visceral Adipose Tissue and Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue metrics
- Bone Mineral Density, including T- and Z-scores
- Detailed breakdown of the regions of the body
Results are printed and discussed within the 30-minute appointment time.
To ensure the most accurate test, we recommend wearing loose-fitting athletic wear or gym clothes. Please remove all personal items and metal before your exam including:
- jewelry
- accessories (belts, watches, hair clips/pins)
- clothing with buttons, zippers, bra hooks and underwires
- compression wear and tight elastic waistbands
- bulky or heavy clothing such as sweatshirts, baggy jeans, or sweaters
- shoes will be removed prior to sitting on the scanner bed.
To maintain privacy and professionalism, clients must wear attire that ensures modesty during their full session. We do not provide gowns.
The day of your scan we encourage you to:
- Eat and drink normally, stopping two hours prior
- Avoid taking calcium supplements within 24 hours of the scan
- Avoid moderate to heavy exercise the morning of your exam
Clients wishing to use this service must weigh less than 350 lbs, cannot be pregnant, and have had no nuclear imaging tests for five days prior to their appointment.

A one-on-one initial visit with a Registered Dietitian includes an assessment of medical and nutrition history, a discussion of calorie, protein, and fluids needs, and goal setting based on client needs.
This service is great for those who have questions or concerns about nutrition, are trying to reach a health goal, or who would simply like reliable nutrition information. We offer both in-person and virtual consults.
The initial consultation takes about an hour and follow-up visits are 30 minutes. Clients will leave with a counseling plan outlining their dietary needs, goals, and summary of their visit.
Our dietitians can address any number of nutritional concerns, such as
- Weight management
- General healthful eating habits
- Sports nutrition for peak performance
- Disordered eating and behaviors
- Medical management of nutrition-related issues such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, IBS or Celiac disease, and more.
To maximize the time and effectiveness of your counseling session, please arrive 5–10 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time to complete paperwork.
Clients can schedule a Nutrition Consult Package that includes a 60-minute initial visit and three 30-minute follow-up sessions.
