Colorado medical authorization for DEXA
Colorado regulations require medical authorization before any DEXA imaging is performed. You do not need to visit your own doctor or bring a referral—Body Fat USA takes care of the authorization process for you before your appointment. Just complete the intake information when you book. Every DEXA request is then reviewed by our Medical Authority, Dr. Patrick “Ryan” Engelhardt, DC.
How to prepare
For a DEXA scan:
- Wear comfortable clothing with no metal (gym clothes are ideal)
- No exercise before your scan on the day of your test
- Stay normally hydrated
- Let us know if you are or might be pregnant
For an RMR test:
- Water only for at least 4 hours before your test—no food, coffee, tea or gum
- No caffeine or other stimulants
- No exercise before your test that day
- Arrive relaxed and rested
Doing both? Follow the RMR instructions and you will be ready for both tests. Full guides: DEXA preparation · RMR preparation
