What is A DEXA SCAN?

DXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry), pronounced DEXA, is a rapid and non-invasive low-dose X-ray technique utilized for body composition analysis. It generates detailed images and statistics to precisely discern lean muscle mass, body fat, and bone density, providing comprehensive insights into your body composition.

The extensive validation and standardization of DEXA, facilitated by its widespread application in research, clinical practice, and athletic performance evaluation, contribute significantly to its recognition as the gold standard for body composition assessment.

If your goals include shedding fat, building muscle, or enhancing bone strength, regular DEXA scans are essential for gauging your progress.

Don’t waste precious time and effort on health changes and fitness routines that aren’t delivering results. With DEXA scans, you'll gain invaluable insights, empowering you to tailor your regimen for maximum impact.
