DEXA body composition

Measures fat, lean mass and bone density by low-dose X-ray.

DiagnosticEvidence A8 providers documented

What happens

A low-dose X-ray scan taking three to six minutes that separates fat mass, lean mass and bone mineral density, including visceral fat and regional distribution.

How to read the result

The reference standard for body composition and for osteoporosis diagnosis via T-score. Lean mass trends and bone density over years are the numbers worth tracking.

Where it stops

Radiation dose is very low but not zero. Values are not comparable between different machines or software versions, so repeat scans belong on the same device.

Before you book

Three questions to ask

  1. 01Will repeat scans use this exact machine?
  2. 02Do I get bone density with T-scores, not only body fat?
  3. 03How is the scan standardised — fasted, hydration, time of day?
