Hi. I have my first dexa scan on Friday and was wondering what to expect as I’ve not been given much info. 

Are you allowed to wear metal? 
Do you have to get naked/half clothed/fully clothed? 
How long for results? 
What is the treatment if bone density has been found to be low?  

Sorry so many questions but I like to be prepared as I’m an anxious Annie. I’ve read that they don’t detect cancer.
