A DEXA scan is a cutting-edge imaging technique that measures body fat percentage, muscle mass, and bone density. Unlike traditional methods such as BMI or skinfold calipers, a DEXA scan provides a precise breakdown of fat distribution, lean muscle mass, and even detects early signs of osteoporosis.
There are two different options for this scan and the provider will discuss with you at the appointment which one would be best for you.
On the day of your scan you will need to wear comfy clothing that has no metal. Gym clothes are preferred attire.
