Does DEXA (DXA) scan need prescribing?

2024-11-05 19:32:32
I am a weight lifter and I am interested in finding my body fat percentage and I am read in the internet about DEXA scan for finding out bone density and body fat percentage. However I am unsure of how I can avail this test. Does it need prescribing? If yes then which doctor do I consult? Any further details will be highly appreciated.
