DEXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorption) is the gold standard in body composition testing. Accuracy and repeatablity matter when it comes to assessing gains in muscle and losing fat. With one percent accuracy and test to test repeatability DEXA is the best way to assess body composition.
Our state of the art DEXA scanner allows assessment of visceral fat, which is fat in and around your internal organs. Visceral fat causes organ inflammation and dysfunction. Even thin and normal weight people can have large amounts of visceral fat which is why DEXA is critical to assessing your health.
Each DEXA scan also evaluates percentage body fat, total mass of fat, muscle, and bone, as well as each limbs total muscle mass.
