Would like to know if it's needed to be weighed for a dexa scan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Table for scan has weight limit of 350 pounds. If unable to lie on an examination table, it will not be possible to measure spine and hip bone density. Instead, sitting beside the DEXA machine for scan of forearm.
