Discover your bone health and learn your risk for osteoporosis
-
Identify personal long-term health risks, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hormonal imbalances, and more
What is DEXA?
Sometimes called DEXA, Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry is the gold standard for measuring body composition and bone health. It's the preferred method trusted by medical professionals, research facilities, and sports labs around the world.
A DEXA scan is a quick and easy test that measures your total body fat and includes the exact breakdown of bone mass, fat tissue, and muscle in your body.
A DEXA scan is the most precise and reliable body fat test available today, providing you with 98%+ accuracy.
HOW IT WORKS?
- Wear workout-type clothes without any metal when you come in for your test.
- The test takes about 10-15 minutes. All you do is lie down on the table and the C-arm will pass over you 3 times; you won't feel a thing.
- Once the scan is completed, our doctors will review your results and answer any questions.
- You will get a full print out of your results to take home with you.
