Everything a DEXA Scan Reveals About Your Body

A single scan gives you the most complete picture of your body composition available — region by region, with clinical accuracy. Curious what a DEXA scan actually is? Read our full explainer →

📊

Body Fat Percentage

Your total and regional body fat measured to within 1–2% accuracy — far more precise than calipers, scales, or BIA devices.

💪

Lean Muscle Mass

See exactly how much muscle you carry in each arm, leg, and your trunk — essential for tracking training progress and symmetry.

🦴

Bone Mineral Content

Understand your skeletal health with bone mineral density data across major body regions.

🎯

Visceral Fat Analysis

Measure the hidden fat surrounding your organs — a key marker for metabolic health and disease risk.

What to Expect at Your DEXA Scan

From arrival to results, the entire process is quick, painless, and designed around your comfort.

STEP 01 — BEFORE YOU ARRIVE

Prepare for Accurate Results

Consistency is key for reliable scans. Hydrate normally but avoid excess fluids right before your appointment. We recommend fasting for 2–3 hours if possible, and wearing light, minimal clothing — ideally the same outfit each time you scan.

💡 Pro tip: Remove all jewelry and metal. Non-removable items are fine as long as you wear them for every scan.

STEP 02 — CHECK-IN

Arrive & Get Started

Our team will greet you, collect a few details about your fitness goals, and walk you through a simple consent form. This is the perfect time to ask any questions about the process or your results.

💡 Pro tip: Arrive at your exact appointment time for the smoothest experience.

STEP 03 — THE SCAN

6 Minutes, Completely Painless

You’ll lie flat on a comfortable scanning table while our medical-grade DEXA machine performs a low-dose X-ray. The radiation is minimal — roughly 1/10th of a standard chest X-ray. A trained technician will be with you the entire time.

💡 Pro tip: Stay as still as possible during the scan for the most accurate measurements.

DEXA Scan FAQ

Everything you need to know before your first scan.

A DEXA scan measures your total and regional body fat percentage, lean muscle mass distribution (by arm, leg, and trunk), bone mineral content, and visceral fat levels. It’s the most accurate non-invasive method for body composition analysis available.
The scan itself takes only 6 minutes. Including check-in and preparation, your total visit is about 15–20 minutes.
Absolutely. DEXA scans use extremely low-dose X-ray technology — roughly 1/10th the radiation of a standard chest X-ray. It’s one of the safest medical imaging methods available.
Hydrate normally but avoid drinking excessive fluids before your scan. Fast for 2–3 hours if possible. Wear light, minimal clothing without metal — and ideally the same “DEXA outfit” each visit for consistency. Remove all jewelry and watches.
For tracking body composition changes, we recommend scanning every 8–12 weeks. This gives your body enough time to show measurable changes from training and nutrition adjustments. We offer subscription plans to make regular scanning affordable.
We have two locations: Vancouver at 316 Carrall Street, BC V6B 2J3, and Toronto at 100 Western Battery Road, ON M6K 3S2. Both clinics offer the same medical-grade DEXA scanning technology.
DEXA is widely recognized as the gold standard for body composition analysis. It measures body fat within 1–2% accuracy — significantly more reliable than bioelectrical impedance (BIA) scales, skin-fold calipers, or body circumference calculations.
