Using a very low dose of radiation, the DEXA scan gives you a comprehensive snapshot of your metabolic health — far beyond what a number on the scale can show. It measures fat, lean tissue, and bone throughout the body and identifies the difference between subcutaneous (essential) fat and visceral (dangerous-to-your-health) fat. This detailed information can help you better define your nutrition strategy, monitor fat loss (not just weight loss), and track changes over time. Body composition is a key factor in understanding your overall health and can help identify risks for a variety of diseases.
A few indications for this scan include, but not limited to:
✔️ Weight management
✔️ Diet and exercise programs
✔️ Anorexia
✔️ Chronic renal failure
✔️ Cystic fibrosis
