FAQ's

1. How accurate is a DEXA scan?

DEXA is the gold standard for measuring BMD and is highly accurate for body composition measurements. It can detect changes as small as 1%, which is particularly useful for tracking small but significant changes in individuals at risk of osteoporosis or undergoing weight management programs.

2. How much does it cost?

See our Pricing Guide for the cost. We have different options ranging from $100-350 depending on what your goals are.

3. How does it work?

It works by passing two low-dose X-ray beams at different energy levels through the body. By measuring the absorption of each beam by bones and soft tissue, it can determine bone mineral density (BMD) and give detailed information about body composition, including muscle mass, bone mass, and visceral fat.
