A DEXA scan is one of the most accurate and reliable ways to measure body composition. Unlike a traditional scale, a DEXA scan helps you understand what your weight is actually made of, including body fat, lean mass, and bone mineral content.


Originally developed for bone density testing, DEXA technology is now widely used in sports performance, weight management, fitness tracking, and body composition analysis because of its precision and consistency.


At Body Fat USA in Denver, we use a GE Lunar Prodigy DEXA scan to provide objective body composition data that can help you better understand your current baseline and track changes over time.
