HEre is the wiki on DEXA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_energ ... rptiometry
Sounds like the dose is not that bad. A tenth of a chest x-ray.
There is a cavea about hydration...but I'm WELL familiar with how my weight jumps around based on water-glycogen so I will consider the baseline, intelligently.

JD:
Ironman and I spelled it out. Read the little back and forth we had. The new knowledge will motivate me to drop my weight 5 or 10 pounds.
Note also, that if there is a persistent "offset" in one measurement versus another, I can still use the less expensive one in the future for trending, but with the knowledge of the offset.

In all seriousness, what's so radical about 200 bucks? I never even gave myself any weight loss presents. If I payed 200 bucks for a barbell or some skates or such, you wouldn't object, right?
It's gonna be cool, guys. I will report back and tell you what I learn. We'll see if it was worthwhile or not. Life is about trying things. I mean...it's not like I'm shooting smack or something. :)
