Imaging & Body Composition

DEXA (Dual‑energy X‑ray Absorptiometry)

Often used for body fat %, lean mass distribution, and bone mineral density.

Practical guidance

  • Use the same facility/device if possible (comparability matters).
  • Retest on a cadence that matches expected change (often months, not weeks).
  • Pair imaging with “fast” metrics (weight trend, waist, performance) so you can iterate.
