DXA scans are performed in clinical environments and use spectral imaging (an X-ray) to measure your bone mineral density. DXA provides detailed information about your tissue composition, and is able to distinguish lean tissue mass from fat tissue mass with proven accuracy. However, these expensive...
There are a variety of bone density tests available, but the “gold standard” test for diagnosing osteoporosis is theDEXA scan(also written as “DXA scan“). The acronym stands for dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, and it measures bone density in the spine, hip, or wrist. If you do ha...
A sudden shift in glycogen and body water can throw off the tools commonly used to assess body composition, such asdual-energy x-ray absorptiometry(DXA/DEXA) andbioelectrical impedanceanalysis(BIA). DXA was originally used to measure bone density to aid in the detection of osteoporosis. Tod...
