DEXA Scan
The scan passes two X-ray beams at different energy levels through your body. Bone tissue absorbs the higher-energy beam, while soft tissue lets more of the signal pass through. By comparing the two signals, the machine can precisely separate bone from everything else and calculate how dense your bones are at specific sites, typically the spine and hip.
This same two-beam technology also distinguishes fat tissue from lean tissue (muscle, organs, water), which is why DEXA scans have become popular for detailed body composition analysis beyond just bone health.
It breaks your entire body down into three components: bone, fat, and lean mass. The report includes your total body fat percentage, a region-by-region breakdown of fat and muscle in your arms, legs, and trunk, and a measurement of visceral adipose tissue, the metabolically active fat surrounding your internal organs. It also calculates ratios like lean mass relative to height, which helps identify low muscle mass even in people whose overall weight looks normal.
