What is a DEXA Scan?
DEXA (Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry) is a quick, non-invasive, and highly precise imaging technology used to assess body composition. Unlike traditional scales or BMI, a DEXA scan goes beyond weight to provide a detailed breakdown of:
- Body fat percentage
- Lean muscle mass
- Bone density
This level of detail is invaluable for understanding your overall health and tracking changes over time.

How Does a DEXA Scan Work?
During the scan, you’ll lie comfortably on a padded table while the DEXA machine uses low-energy X-rays to measure your body composition. The scan is completely non-invasive, with no needles or discomfort involved. Once complete, you’ll receive a detailed report with breakdowns of your:
- Body fat percentage: Understand where fat is distributed across your body.
- Muscle mass: Track your lean tissue development for fitness or rehabilitation.
- Bone density: Identify your risk for osteoporosis and other bone-related conditions.
Who Can Benefit from a DEXA Scan?

Track muscle growth, fat loss, and progress toward specific fitness goals with precision.
2. Weight Loss Patients
Understand your fat loss progress beyond the number on the scale and ensure you’re losing fat, not muscle.
3. Individuals Concerned About Bone Health
Bone density measurements can help detect early signs of osteoporosis, making DEXA scans a valuable tool for preventive health.
