Bone health and body composition analysis with Health24/7, accurate data you can act on.
A DEXA scan, or Dual Energy X ray Absorptiometry, is a gold standard imaging test used to measure bone mineral density, screen and monitor osteoporosis, and assess full body composition. A DEXA scan is not limited to bone density alone. DEXA body composition scans provide precise insight into bone strength, body fat percentage, muscle mass, and fat distribution across the body using advanced low dose technology. The test involves very low radiation exposure and delivers highly accurate, consistent, and repeatable measurements for both medical assessment and long term health tracking.
This DEXA scan measures bone mineral density in key fracture prone areas such as the spine and hip. It is commonly used for osteoporosis screening, age related bone loss assessment, postmenopausal women, and patients with fracture history to evaluate bone strength and future fracture risk accurately.
This DEXA scan provides a detailed analysis of body composition beyond weight or BMI. It measures body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, visceral fat, and fat distribution, supporting weight management, fitness tracking, metabolic health assessment, post pregnancy analysis, and long term nutrition or lifestyle planning decisions.

Yes. DEXA scans use very low radiation and follow strict safety protocols, making them suitable for routine screening and long term monitoring when recommended by a healthcare professional.
The frequency of a DEXA scan depends on age, bone health status, body composition goals, risk factors, and medical advice from your doctor.
Yes. DEXA body composition provides detailed insight into fat, muscle, and visceral fat distribution, while BMI only reflects total weight relative to height.
Minimal preparation is required. You may be advised to wear comfortable clothing and avoid metal accessories on the day of the scan.
Most DEXA scan reports are available within 24 to 48 hours after the scan is completed.
