<p>Absolutely! &nbsp;The DEXA scan uses a tiny dose of ionising radiation (X-rays) to measure your body composition. &nbsp;The amount of radiation exposure during a scan is minimal, and it’s actually less than one day’s normal background radiation that we each receive every day from outer space and the earth’s natural radiation that we are all exposed to as we go about our day-to-day activities in life. &nbsp;However, to be extra cautious we do not scan pregnant women and children under the age of 18 years of age.</p>
