@I am still oxox , this reminds me of an MRI that I had years ago on my knee. The guy kept telling me I was moving my knee, and I knew that I wasn't. He was very impatient, and hostile. 

I was young then, but now I would have left . 

I understand your frustration.  You should let your insurance company know what was said. Just for their information.  Certainly tell your doctor.

@Tissyanne I did tell my doctor. there is more to the story when I got there she saw the red sting on my writst and said that has to come off, it has no metal. It has been on my arm through surgery several times she was just a miserable witch

The technician likely asked you to remove it to prevent image distortion or misinterpretation. Anything can cause distortion. Even something on your wrist. Metal has nothing to do with it. It is not an MRI.

By breathing too deeply or shifting slightly it can blur the image, especially around the spine or hip, where precision matters. There is nothing the tech can do at that point. If she spent an hour trying to get the image, she did her job.

@manny2 I was not breathing deeply. No it is not my problem

I've never heard that having Afib is associated with Dexa scan problems. Moving from breathing heavily is most likely the culprit. Any kind of movement will cause blurring in the imaging.

@SilleeMee I was not moving I was as still and as quiet as a church mouse

It sounds like you were upset because she asked you to remove the item from your wrist. So, your breathing was shallow. If you just calm down. Follow directions you will get the image.

@manny2 I was totally calm and I did follow the directions. My breathing was not shallow. I did follow her directions.
