Hello....... On the day of the scan you may eat normally. You should not take calcium supplements for at least 24 hours before your test, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is an enhanced form of x-ray technology that is used to measure bone loss... You can undergo this test .pregnancy is contraindication.
