Body Mass Composition DEXA Scanning: Beyond Bone Density
In addition to traditional bone density measurement, our dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scanner offers advanced body composition analysis. This fast, non-invasive scan uses two low-energy X-ray beams to provide a highly accurate assessment of your body’s fat, lean tissue, and bone mass.
DEXA body composition scans are valuable for anyone seeking a comprehensive view of their health—whether you are an athlete tracking muscle and fat changes over time, managing a chronic condition, or simply interested in a deeper understanding of your body’s makeup. Unlike basic weight and BMI measurements, DEXA reveals detailed information about fat distribution and lean mass, which can be crucial for managing obesity, metabolic health, and other medical concerns.
The procedure is quick—typically around six minutes—comfortable, and performed by a certified technologist. Results are provided to both you and your healthcare provider, empowering you to make informed decisions about your health and wellness.
