What's Included
Preparation Required
No fasting required. Wear comfortable, lightweight clothing without metal components (zippers, belt buckles, underwire). Remove all jewelry and metal accessories. Stay well-hydrated — dehydration can slightly affect body composition readings. Avoid intense exercise for 24 hours before the scan, as fluid shifts can influence results. The scan itself takes approximately 10–20 minutes and is painless. You'll lie still on an open table while the scanner arm passes over you.
