What a DEXA scan measures
Four numbers a bathroom scale can't give you.
A DEXA scan separates your body into fat, lean tissue and bone — and reports each one region by region, so you can see change where it actually happens.
Body fat percentage
A true measurement, not an estimate from a handheld device or a formula based on your height.
Lean muscle, by limb
Left arm versus right, legs versus trunk. Imbalances show up clearly — useful after injury or a training block.
Visceral fat
The fat around your organs — the kind most closely tied to metabolic health, and invisible from the outside.
Bone density
The same technology used clinically to assess bone health, giving you a baseline to track over the years.
How a visit works
In and out in under half an hour.
Book online
Pick a time and pay up front. You'll complete a short health screening questionnaire when you book — it takes about a minute.
Lie still, ten minutes
You stay fully clothed in comfortable clothes without metal. The scanner passes over you while you rest on your back. Nothing touches you.
Walk through your results
We go over your report with you before you leave, and you take a copy home the same day.

Common questions
Before you come in.
Do I need a referral from a doctor?
No. Anyone can book a scan directly. You'll complete a short health screening questionnaire during booking, which our supervising physician's protocol requires — but you don't need an order from your own doctor.
How long does it take, and when do I get results?
The scan itself takes about ten minutes, and you're typically in and out in under half an hour. We review your report with you before you leave and you take a copy home the same day.
Is it safe? How much radiation is involved?
A whole-body DEXA scan uses a very low dose of X-ray — less than you'd receive on a cross-country flight, and a small fraction of a standard chest X-ray.
DEXA scanning is not appropriate during pregnancy, or shortly after a procedure using contrast dye. Our screening questionnaire covers both.
What should I wear, and how do I prepare?
Comfortable clothing with no metal — no zippers, underwire, buckles or metal buttons. Athletic wear is ideal. You stay fully clothed throughout. We'll send full preparation instructions when you book.
