What's the best DEXA scan in Seattle for athletes?

Our Seattle clinic uses FDA-approved, medical-grade DEXA technology with 98%+ accuracy for measuring body fat, lean muscle, and bone density. This is the same clinical-grade equipment used by UW Medicine research teams and recommended by sports medicine physicians in the area.

Is a DEXA scan safe? (Seattle DEXA scanning)
Absolutely. Our Seattle DEXA scans use extremely low-dose X-rays — less radiation exposure than the flight from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to LAX. The scan is completely painless, non-invasive, and takes just 10-15 minutes. It's safe for most adults and is the gold standard for body composition analysis.
How long does a DEXA scan take in Seattle?
Your DEXA scan appointment at our Seattle clinic takes about 30 minutes total, including check-in and results consultation. The actual scan is only 10-15 minutes. You'll receive your detailed results within 24 hours via email, including body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, bone density, and visceral fat measurements.

What does a full body DEXA scan measure in Seattle?
A full body DEXA scan at our Seattle clinic measures total and regional body fat percentage, lean muscle mass distribution across your arms, legs, and trunk, visceral fat levels (the dangerous fat surrounding your organs), and bone mineral density. Whether you're a competitive cyclist training on Mercer Island or a weekend trail runner in the Issaquah Alps, this comprehensive data gives you a complete picture of your health.
How is DEXA different from InBody at Seattle gyms?
Many Seattle fitness studios offer InBody scans, but DEXA is significantly more accurate. InBody uses bioelectrical impedance (BIA), which can vary by 5-8% based on hydration levels — a major issue for active people in rainy Seattle who may be inconsistently hydrated. DEXA uses X-ray technology for direct tissue measurement with +/-1-2% accuracy, making it the gold standard recommended by sports medicine physicians and researchers at institutions like the University of Washington.
Can I get same-day DEXA scan results in Seattle?
Yes! At our Seattle location, you'll receive your comprehensive DEXA scan results within 24 hours via email. For an additional fee, we offer expedited same-day results. Your report includes easy-to-understand body composition metrics, bone density T-scores, and personalized recommendations tailored to your health and fitness goals.
