This non-invasive scan provides a comprehensive analysis of body fat, muscle, and bone composition using DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) technology. It measures fat distribution across different body regions (arms, legs, trunk), including visceral fat located around internal organs, which is often associated with cardiometabolic risk factors. The scan also calculates the android-to-gynoid fat ratio—indicating fat accumulation around the abdomen compared to the hips and thighs—which may offer insights into health risks.
In addition to fat analysis, the scan evaluates skeletal muscle mass and estimates the Relative Skeletal Muscle Index (RSMI), supporting assessment of muscle condition, particularly in relation to ageing or sedentary lifestyles. Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) is also measured, providing an estimate of the calories your body uses at rest—useful for guiding dietary and fitness plans.
The procedure is quick, painless, and requires no special preparation. Results can support personalised care, guide lifestyle adjustments, and track body composition changes over time.
