What is a DEXA scan?

Most people are used to stepping on a scale now and then. But monitoring weight – while helpful – is not a precise way of assessing wellness or fitness.

Body composition measurement with DEXA can look beyond weight and the traditional body mass index (BMI) to determine body fat distribution.

DEXA, or Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry, is one of the most proven and reliable technologies for measuring body composition and is capable of collecting segmental fat, lean, and bone measurements in just 15 minutes.*

A standard DEXA scan with a Fitnescity partner involves lying still for 10-15 minutes while the machine’s arm moves back and forth over your body to develop a full-body image. A DEXA can be used to obtain an initial body composition assessment and to understand how your body is changing over time.
