Service Description

DXA (Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is an instrument that uses low-dose X-ray radiation to determine body composition. It can differentiate lean tissue (muscle, water, blood) from bone and fat. Radiation exposure is similar to that of an X-ray scan at the doctor or dentist, and similar exposure to atmospheric radiation on a cross-country flight. Females who are pregnant or think they may be pregnant should consult their physician before performing a DXA scan.
