What is a DEXA Whole Body Scan?

A DEXA scan is a quick, low-dose X-ray that measures the fat, muscle and bone in every part of your body. Doctors and researchers see it as the most accurate way to measure body composition.

You lie on an open table for 10 to 15 minutes while the scanner arm passes over you. It is painless, with no tunnel and no needles. The X-ray dose is very low, less than a normal chest X-ray. It is also far less affected by how much water you drank than bathroom scales or InBody machines.
