Our Editorial Standards
How we ensure the accuracy and trustworthiness of health information on Dexascans.com
As a provider of health-related services and information, Dexascans.com takes our responsibility to accuracy seriously. Our content is designed to inform and educate — never to replace professional medical advice. Here's how we maintain the quality and integrity of everything we publish.
Medical Review Process
All health-related content on Dexascans.com is reviewed by a qualified medical professional before publication. Our medical reviewers hold active licenses and have clinical experience relevant to the topics they review, including body composition analysis, bone density assessment, radiology, and sports medicine.
- Content is written by qualified health writers with relevant credentials
- A board-certified physician reviews all medical claims for accuracy
- Published articles display both the author and medical reviewer with credentials
- Content is reviewed periodically and updated when new research emerges
Evidence-Based Sourcing
Medical and scientific claims on our site are supported by references to peer-reviewed research, clinical guidelines, and authoritative health organizations. We prioritize sources from:
- National Institutes of Health (NIH) — peer-reviewed research and clinical data via PubMed and NIH-funded studies
- Mayo Clinic — patient-facing medical information reviewed by clinical staff
- Harvard Health Publishing — evidence-based health content from Harvard Medical School
- RadiologyInfo.org — patient information resource of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA)
Content Principles
Accuracy First
We never overstate the capabilities of DEXA scanning or make unsupported health claims. Where evidence is limited, we say so.
Transparency
We clearly label promotional content, display author credentials, and acknowledge limitations in the data or technology.
Not Medical Advice
We include medical disclaimers on all health content. Our information is educational and should not replace consultation with a healthcare provider.
Regular Updates
We review and update content to reflect current scientific consensus, clinical guidelines, and best practices in body composition analysis.
Our Team
Our editorial team includes board-certified physicians, certified personal trainers, and experienced health writers. Each contributor's credentials are displayed alongside their content so readers can evaluate the expertise behind the information.
