Frequently Asked Questions
What is DEXA?
DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) is a clinical imaging test that measures body composition and bone density with high precision.
How long does the appointment take?
Appointments are 15-20 minutes; the scan itself is 6–7 minutes.
Do I need a physician referral?
No referral required! Book online at cowichandexa.ca!
How will I receive my results?
You will receive your custom report through your Jane account (our electronic medical record) within 1 week of your scan.
Is the scan safe?
DEXA uses a very small amount of radiation - equivalent to approximately 1/3 of a standard chest X-ray. This is about the same as natural background radiation experienced in one day for the average person.
Can I use insurance?
DEXA body composition scans are not currently covered by provincial health insurance or most extended health plans; however, receipts are provided and may be submitted to your insurer or health spending account if eligible.
Stop guessing. Start understanding - with clarity and a clear path forward.
