Why This Matters

Why Consider DEXA Scans?

DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is an advanced imaging technology used to evaluate bone mineral density and total body composition with a high degree of precision and reproducibility. The scan provides objective data that can guide decisions related to osteoporosis prevention, hormone optimization, metabolic health, weight management, and performance optimization.

What DEXA Reveals

Know Your Body. Guide Your Care.

Six dimensions of insight from a single, non-invasive scan.

Bone Density Evaluation
Early detection of osteopenia and osteoporosis. Measures bone mineral density at lumbar spine, hip, femoral neck. Results reported as T-score and Z-score. Assesses response to hormone therapy.
Total Body Composition
Differentiates fat mass, lean muscle mass, visceral fat, regional fat distribution. Unlike BMI, identifies how weight is distributed and changes over time.
Why DEXA Is Useful
Traditional measures like BMI or scale weight don't distinguish fat and muscle. Provides objective data to guide nutrition, exercise, hormone optimization, and long-term health planning.
How the Scan Works
Non-invasive, painless, no injections. Completed in 6–12 minutes. Very low radiation exposure. Immediate results available.
Who May Benefit
Women and men age 40+, post-menopausal women, men with low testosterone, individuals pursuing fat loss or muscle gain, patients on metabolic therapy, athletes.
Monitoring Over Time
Track bone density during hormone therapy, muscle gain during exercise, fat loss during metabolic therapy, visceral fat reduction. Repeat every 6–12 months.
Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the scan take?
Most scans are completed in approximately 10 minutes.
Is the scan safe?
Radiation exposure is very low, typically less than a standard chest X-ray.
Do I need to prepare?
Minimal preparation is required. Patients should avoid calcium supplements for 24 hours prior to the scan.
How often should scans be repeated?
Frequency depends on clinical goals but is often every 6–12 months for monitoring.
Will I receive a copy of the results?
Results are typically available shortly after the scan and may be reviewed with your provider.
