Why a DEXA Scan?
DEXA scans, short for Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry, are a cutting-edge technology used to assess body composition with remarkable precision. Originally developed to measure bone mineral density, DEXA scans have evolved to provide a comprehensive analysis of various body components, including bone, muscle, and fat, and it's considered the "gold-standard" for body composition analysis. This safe, non-invasive procedure involves a minimal amount of X-ray exposure (approximately the same as a cross country flight), making it safe for all individuals.
