On a stand-alone basis the DXA takes approx 10 minutes, so in theory it could be a 30 minute time investment from check-in to walking out of the facility.
I also got a calcium CT scan, pretty impressive test. The online digital test report showed video of my heart beating, with contrast running through it. Love the tech! Less than one hour from check-in to walking out of the facility. I did this test on a stand-alone visit.

On this vein, we recently got a Dial H30 body composition analyzer. I had been looking for a "smart scale" for a while and never bought one because I didn't think they were accurate.
Our son got tested as part of a sports workout program on an InBody 580 machine, which is like $15k professional level.

The amount of detail was pretty remarkable. After three tests showing results that correlated with what we were seeing in his change in phisque, I bought the consumer version

it shows fewer parameters but I had him measure on this vs. the pro machine and the results were pretty close. Close enough that I believe it will help me track body fat, etc. with decent enough accuracy to see if diet and exercise changes are working.
