Over the last few years, I have had a lot of experience with DEXA scans for both body composition and bone density. For myself, I have been using DEXA scans for monitoring my body fat percentage and lean mass trend in my weight-lifting regimen. Then for my mom, who has osteoporosis, I have been taking her to her yearly appointments at a different facility to monitor her bone density.
Over the last few years, I have gotten a lot of questions about DEXA scans, mostly from the fitness community, and I decided to start this blog to share what I know. I hope to provide a helpful resource that can help take some of the mystique out of going for a scan.
I have had the unique experience of seeing both key reasons to get a DEXA scan. Even more uncommon is that I’ve been in multiple facilities to see how it’s done. That’s allowed me to see the different processes, ask technicians different questions, and gather a more well-rounded view of DEXA scanning.
