FAQs

What is DEXA (BMD) Fat Assessment + Two Sites?

DEXA (BMD) Fat Assessment + Two Sites is a comprehensive, low-dose imaging examination that measures Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at two skeletal sites—typically the lumbar spine and hip—while also assessing body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, and overall body composition. It helps evaluate both bone health and body composition in a single examination.

Why is DEXA (BMD) Fat Assessment + Two Sites performed?

This examination is performed to diagnose osteoporosis and osteopenia, assess fracture risk, monitor bone health, evaluate body fat and lean muscle mass, and support weight management, fitness assessment, and nutritional planning.

Which areas are evaluated during this examination?

The examination typically measures bone mineral density of the lumbar spine and hip, along with a whole-body assessment of body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, and fat distribution.

Can DEXA measure body fat and muscle mass?

Yes. In addition to measuring bone density, the examination provides detailed information about body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, fat distribution, and overall body composition.

What is the difference between DEXA and a regular X-ray?

A regular X-ray is primarily used to detect fractures and other bone abnormalities, whereas DEXA precisely measures bone mineral density and body composition using a much lower radiation dose.
