DEXA

SCAN

DEXA SCAN measures muscle mass, fat mass, visceral fat and bone mineral density

DEXA allows you to know if you are reaching your goals by benchmarking and tracking changes in your muscle and fat mass. MeasureUp offers the latest technology in body composition measurement for individuals, athletes, personal trainers and their clients to ensure that progress is monitored correctly and accurately.

[ 00:00 ]

Dexa stands for dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (Dexa or dxa).

It is the most accurate commercial body composition measurement system available to the public. This is the reason why all other measurement devices compare themselves to DEXA’s accuracy and reproducibility. A DEXA scan provides you with individualised body composition information together with a measure of bone density that no other device can achieve. DEXA is the gold standard in testing body composition through out the world and is used regularly in medical research.
