What is a Dexa Scan?

A Dexa Scan, or Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry, is a cutting-edge imaging technology that’s renowned for its unparalleled accuracy in assessing bone density, body composition, and fat distribution, including visceral fat. Our Dexa scanner made by Hologic is the newest and most accurate on the market. This machine differs greatly from In-Body which are seen in many gyms and fitness studios. This is Ideal for those seeking detailed insights into their overall health. Dexa Scans are a game-changing way to assess the impact of your health and fitness decisions, offering a level of precision unmatched by conventional body composition methods. 

How Does It Work?

The Dexa Scan uses low-dose X-rays at two different energy levels to create detailed images of the body. This technology allows for a precise breakdown of bone density, lean muscle, and fat distribution throughout the body, making it an invaluable tool for a wide range of health and fitness assessments. Its high level of accuracy can be a vital aid in the early detection of osteoporosis and the management of conditions related to body composition, such as weight loss. It also provides critical data that can be used for personalizing fitness and nutrition plans. And with an error rate of only 1-2%, it’s significantly more accurate than alternative body composition devices.

What Can a Dexa Scan Be Used For?

Dexa Scans provide valuable information for a variety of health and wellness applications, including:

Body Composition Analysis: Dexa Scans can provide an accurate measurement of lean muscle and fat mass, including visceral fat, which is a significant predictor of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Health and Fitness Tracking: A Dexa Scan is for anyone embarking on a new fitness regime or monitoring their progress in a weight loss program. Dexa may be useful for protein consumption with calculated lean muscle mass as well. 

Bone Health: For assessing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.

Personalized DEXA Scan Results

We believe in providing precise body composition metrics and a clear understanding of these numbers. Unlike some services that only upload results to a portal, we ensure that a healthcare provider reviews your DEXA scan results with you. They will guide you through each aspect of your report in a simple, easy-to-read format to ensure you understand your body composition analysis.

Most importantly, our DEXA scans include a measurement of visceral fat (VAT cm²). Visceral fat is a key indicator of potential health risks when present in excess. By assessing this metric, we help you understand and manage essential factors of your overall well-being.

What To Expect

Undergoing a Dexa Scan is a simple, fast, and pain-free experience that involves just three simple steps:

Preparation: On the day of your scan you’ll be asked to wear loose, comfortable clothing without any metal zippers, buttons, or fasteners, as these can interfere with the imaging process. You will also be asked to remove any jewelry or other metallic items.

During the Scan: The scan itself is a straightforward procedure. You will lie on a padded table, and the Dexa machine will pass over your body. It's important to remain as still as possible during the scan to ensure accurate results. The entire process typically takes only about 5-10 minutes.

After the Scan: There's no downtime after a Dexa Scan. You can immediately resume your normal activities. Following the scan, our experts will analyze the data and prepare a detailed report. This report will give you a comprehensive view of your bone density, body composition, and fat distribution, which can be discussed with one of the nurses or providers. 

At Blue Tree Health, your comfort and understanding of the process are our top priorities. If you have questions or concerns before or after your Dexa Scan, don’t hesitate to contact us. Our knowledgeable staff is always available to assist.
