What DEXA scans measure and how clinics use them
Is a DEXA scan worth it for body fat, muscle, and bone health? Clinics market gold-standard composition tracking, but bone density screening and elective body-fat scans serve different clinical purposes.
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry is the clinical reference method for bone mineral density and fracture-risk assessment. DEXA body composition is widely used in research and sports medicine with good precision for fat and lean mass tracking, though elective wellness scanning is not the same as guideline-directed osteoporosis screening.
