What Is a DEXA Scan?

A DEXA scan (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) is the gold standard for measuring body composition and bone density. In a single 10-minute, low-radiation scan, DEXA precisely measures body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, visceral fat, and bone mineral density — far more accurately than any scale or home device.
