DEXA Whole Body Composition Scan
$135
A DEXA whole body composition scan provides a detailed measurement of body fat, lean mass, regional body composition, visceral fat, and bone mineral content (BMC). It is designed for people who want an objective way to assess and track changes in body composition over time.
This option includes whole body composition analysis, including bone mineral content (BMC). It does not include dedicated diagnostic bone mineral density (BMD) testing of the lumbar spine or hip used to evaluate osteopenia and osteoporosis.
Your assessment includes:
- Whole-body DEXA body composition scan
- Total body fat percentage
- Total lean mass measurement
- Regional fat and lean mass measurements
- Visceral fat assessment
- Android and gynoid body composition measurements
- Whole-body bone mineral content (BMC)
- SECA body composition analysis
- Hologic® DEXA body composition report
- Medical assistant overview of your report and key measurements
- HormoneSynergy® patient education handout to help you understand your results
Whole Body Composition vs. Complete DEXA
This Whole Body Composition Scan includes bone mineral content (BMC), but does not include dedicated diagnostic bone density testing of the hip and lumbar spine.
Bone mineral content (BMC) measures the amount of mineral in the bones included in the whole-body scan. Although useful as part of a body composition assessment, BMC is not the same as the site-specific bone mineral density (BMD) measurements used to evaluate osteopenia and osteoporosis.
A diagnostic bone density examination evaluates specific skeletal sites, particularly the lumbar spine and hip, and provides T-scores that help clinicians assess bone density and fracture risk. Whole-body BMC measurements cannot replace this evaluation.
If you also want diagnostic bone density assessment of the hip and spine, select the DEXA Bone Density + Body Composition Scan instead. The complete DEXA assessment includes both dedicated hip and spine bone density testing and whole-body composition analysis, including BMC.
Who May Benefit From Whole Body Composition Testing?
Whole-body DEXA can be useful for establishing a baseline or monitoring changes in body composition during weight loss, strength training, nutrition changes, healthy-aging programs, or GLP-1 treatment. Tracking lean mass along with fat mass can provide information that body weight alone cannot.
Visceral Fat and Body Composition
DEXA provides measurements beyond a standard scale or BMI calculation. The Hologic® report can help show where fat and lean tissue are distributed throughout the body, including an estimate of visceral adipose tissue in the abdominal region.
For people losing weight, repeated body composition testing can also help show whether changes are coming primarily from fat mass, lean mass, or both.
