The DEXA body composition scan and the DEXA bone density scan are both specialized forms of X-ray examinations that provide valuable insights into your body's composition and bone health.

The DEXA body composition scan is a high-tech X-ray that assesses your body's composition, including bone, fat, and muscle. It involves lying down while a machine emits a safe, low-dose X-ray to calculate these components, offering a detailed picture of your body's composition. This scan is beneficial for understanding fat distribution, bone density, and muscle mass, aiding in informed decisions about diet, exercise, and overall well-being.

ThE DEXA bone density scan is a specialised X-ray that evaluates the strength and density of your bones, particularly useful for detecting or assessing the risk of osteoporosis. During this scan, you lie down as the machine scans a specific area, typically your hip or spine, to measure calcium and mineral content, indicating bone strength.

These scans provide crucial information for assessing overall health and bone health, guiding preventive measures and treatment strategies. They offer an inside look into your body's composition and bone strength, facilitating proactive health management.
