Dexa Scan Technologists are healthcare professionals who specialize in operating dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) machines to measure bone density. They play a crucial role in diagnosing conditions like osteoporosis by capturing detailed images of bones, typically in the hip and spine.

Familiarity with DEXA scanning equipment, PACS systems, and radiation safety protocols is essential. Strong attention to detail, patient care skills, and effective communication help technologists provide a comfortable experience and ensure accurate results. These competencies are crucial for delivering precise diagnostic data and maintaining high standards of patient safety and care.

What are some common challenges faced by Dexa Scan Technologists in daily practice?

Dexa Scan Technologists often encounter challenges such as managing a high patient volume while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail in imaging. Ensuring clear communication with patients, particularly those who may be anxious or unfamiliar with the procedure, is also crucial. Additionally, technologists must stay updated on evolving protocols and regulatory requirements, as well as troubleshoot equipment issues promptly to minimize delays. Collaboration with radiologists and other healthcare professionals is essential to ensure optimal patient care and report accuracy.

Job description

We're actively building our summer cohort, apply now and we'll be in touch as spots open up. Want a calmer pace, motivated clients, and a team that's actually fun to work with? As a DEXA Technologist at BodySpec, you'll specialize in preventive health scans in a startup environment where your work matters. Same clinical professionalism, better quality of life.

First-year DEXA Technologists in NYC can expect to earn up to $120,099 in total cash compensation, plus equity.

Youโ€™ll Love This Job If You Have:
  • Passion for Preventive Health: You believe health is about more than treating illnessโ€”you want to help people understand their bodies and reach their goals.
  • Customer Service Instincts: You love one-on-one interaction and creating great experiences. You're warm, professional, and can make anyone feel comfortableโ€”without the pressure of building your own book of business.
  • Startup Energy: You're energized by variety and building something new. Traditional healthcare feels slow and bureaucratic to you. You want to be part of a small, dynamic team where your work actually matters.
  • Grit and Flexibility: You don't mind early mornings or getting your hands dirty. You're resourcefulโ€”when something's broken, you fix it or propose solutions instead of waiting for someone else.
What Will You Do?
  • Perform DEXA scans (bone density and body composition) and guide clients through a seamless, professional experience.
  • Own your scanning daysโ€”manage your schedule, equipment, and client flow with autonomy.
  • Work in our storefront locations, delivering consistent, high-quality scans.
  • Handle light administrative work and equipment care.
  • Complete paid onboarding training (one week, travel covered) to learn our systems and scanning protocols.
Schedule

Full-time with 8-hour shifts. Start times typically range from 7:00am to 12:00pm. One weekend day per week required.

Requirements
  • New York State Radiography license
  • OR ARRT certification (Radiography)
  • Graduate of an accredited Radiologic Technology program
Compensation
  • Hourly Rate: $53.00/hour ($110,240 annualized at 40 hrs/week)
  • Performance Bonus: Up to 7% of base annually ($7,717) half paid in cash ($3,859), half in stock options
  • Team Revenue Bonus: $500/month when we hit monthly goals ($6,000 annuallyโ€”we hit our goals 9 out of 12 months in 2025)
  • Total Cash Compensation: Up to $120,099
  • Equity: Stock options through performance bonus and additional grants based on performance

All team members regardless of position are eligible for additional stock option grants and profit sharing based on performance. We expect both cash and equity compensation to grow as the company scales.

Benefits
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Paid time off
  • Sick leave
  • $75/month commute reimbursement
  • $10/shift meal stipend
  • Company-wide peer bonus program for recognizing excellent teamwork
  • Employee assistance program
  • Regular team events (both virtual and in-person)

BodySpec is transforming how people understand and improve their health through accessible DEXA scanning. We're building a nationwide network of DEXA technologists who deliver professionalโ€‘grade body composition and bone density analysis in a way thatโ€™s welcoming, not clinical. If youโ€™re a licensed Radiologic Technologist looking for a calmer pace, a great team, and real ownership at a fastโ€‘growing startup, we want to hear from you.
