How is a mini Dexascan administered at a health fair?
This test is usually taken from a wrist or ankle, depending on the screening device. For example, if taken from the ankle the participant simply takes off their shoes, socks, or stockings, the screener places a small amount of gel on the ankle, and the participant places their bare foot into the machine. Note: the machine must have skin contact in order to provide a reading. The test only takes approximately 3 minutes.
