Why people choose a DEXA Scan
At Healthspan+, DEXA imaging is used for two distinct assessments, depending on what you want to understand.
Bone Density DEXA is chosen by people focused on bone strength and fracture risk. It includes advanced Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) analysis, which adds insight into bone quality. Learn why this matters →
Body Composition DEXA is chosen by people who want a clearer view of muscle, fat, and fat distribution. It precisely measures lean mass, fat mass, and visceral fat, revealing changes that don’t appear on a scale or through BMI.
Each scan answers a different clinical question. You may choose one or both, depending on your goals.
When a DEXA Scan
is helpful
People come in for a DEXA scan for different reasons.
Some want to understand bone health—often due to age, family history, or concerns about bone loss—and prefer clear information early, before problems arise.
Others want a clearer view of body composition, including muscle, fat, and fat distribution, to understand how their body is changing over time beyond what a scale can show.
In both cases, the goal is the same: objective insight that supports better decisions. No membership is required, and scans are available as a standalone service.
A more complete
DEXA assessment
Many DEXA scans are performed in busy hospital or imaging-center settings, where the experience can feel rushed and the results difficult to interpret. At Healthspan+, we take a more thoughtful approach:
-
A calm, private environment — not a crowded radiology waiting room
-
A printed multi-page report is provided
-
Data is reviewed by our board-certified radiologist
-
Followup appointment available to review data
-
Both body composition and bone density scans are available
The goal is not only gathering data, but to help you understand how it may be relevant to you.
