What is DEXA Scanning?
DEXA (sometimes called DXA) stands for “Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry”. DEXA is a whole-body scan wearing normal clothing. The entire scan takes about 15 minutes at most.
What Does a Whole-Body DEXA Scan Show Me?
DEXA is the world’s best way to obtain an EXACT measure of how much fat, muscle and bone you have on your body and better still, it tells you exactly where you have it. DEXA scans are more accurate than ANY other body composition test. DEXA is the world’s gold standard for body composition. DEXA is better than bioelectric impedance, better than using calipers to measure skin-fold thickness, better than the Bod Pod, better than optical 3-d scans and better than underwater hydrostatic weighing. DEXA beats them all.
Sample DEXA Report
Why DEXA Can Help with Weight Loss and Physical Training
Did you ever lose inches but gain weight? Did you ever gain weight when it seemed impossible? This can happen any time your body holds or retains excess fluid. But when it happens, it hurts. It undermines your confidence and self-esteem. Did you really gain fat or is it just extra water? You could never be sure until now.
With DEXA you can finally see inside your body to know EXACTLY how much fat you lost (or gained). Same for muscle. This way you have the power to tell if your weight loss program or training regimen is really helping.
DEXA is also an incredible tool for athletes who need to measure success of training routines. DEXA is used by professional sports teams and Olympic athletes because it shows much more than just weight. It shows EXACTLY how much of a person’s weight is body fat. In fact, DEXA is world’s Gold Standard body fat test. No other test even comes close.
How Does DEXA Work
DEXA is a very special type of low-dose X-Ray that looks INSIDE your body using special ultra-precise fan beam X-rays coupled with a high-resolution sensor array to add up every single bit of fat, bone and muscle in your body. This is then processed through specialized research-validated software to generate images of the body and precise, accurate measurements.
