Accurate Imaging Diagnostics is a diagnostic imaging clinic that provides patients with DEXA body composition scans. Accurate Imaging Diagnostics believes that all patients deserve the best possible health care. We are dedicated to providing safe and professional medical imaging examinations. Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry Scan (DEXA or DXA Scan) is an advanced, highly accurate imaging technique for measuring total body composition (body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, bone density). It uses X-ray beams at two different energy levels. Your muscles, fat, and bone all absorb the rays differently, allowing for a detailed and accurate image of your whole body and the breakdown of its compositions. The amount of radiation used for a DEXA scan is very low, lower than the background radiation you receive in a day.The reason DEXA scans are the gold standard of body composition measurements is the safest, most accurate and cost effective method. Not only can it measure body composition to the highest degree, it can specify body fat percentages to each area of the body. During dieting and exercise this can be used to track progress and help achieve desired goals. DEXA scans can also measure bone density and muscle mass, which can help track muscle atrophy during recovery periods from injuries.
