BODY COMPOSITION IMAGING
DEXA Whole Body
$75
per scan
Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is one of the most clinically significant and underappreciated cardiovascular and metabolic risk markers. You can't estimate it from BMI or appearance. DEXA measures it precisely.
Appendicular skeletal muscle index (ASMI) detects sarcopenia — muscle loss that accelerates aging, increases fall risk, and predicts mortality independent of body weight.
The gold standard for measuring body composition. A single, low-dose X-ray scan maps your entire body — fat distribution, lean muscle mass, bone mineral density, and visceral adipose tissue — with precision no scale or caliper can match.
WHAT'S MEASURED
Total body fat percentage and distribution
Regional lean muscle mass (arms, legs, trunk)
Bone mineral density
Visceral adipose tissue (VAT)
Android/gynoid fat ratio
Appendicular skeletal muscle index
