I had Echolight done at a wellness clinic, so you don't have to be a doctor or work in a doctor's office.
The technician's job is very different between a DEXA and Echolight. With DEXA, the technician has to get your body into the right position, but then the machine does the work. With Echolight, it's like a sonogram: you lie on your back, they put some gel on you, then rub the wand on your abdomen. That is why they tell you not to eat beforehand, so that there's nothing in the stomach that gets in the way. The technician does all the work moving the wand around, and my sense was that it can take a little work to get a clear reading.
As for accuracy, who knows? I posted my DEXA vs REMS comparison earlier, and I really don't know what to think. I don't think I'll do another Echolight.
