DEXA Scan - Body Composition
Queensland Radiology Specialists provides body composition assessments, a non-invasive test that measures fat mass, lean muscle mass, and overall body composition. This assessment helps patients track health, fitness, and weight management goals.
Availability: Body composition assessments are available at all of ourclinic locations.
What Is a Body Composition Assessment?
A body composition assessment evaluates your body’s proportion of:
- Fat mass – total body fat, including visceral fat
- Lean muscle mass – muscle tissue in your body
- Hydration levels – water content in the body
- Bone mass – density and strength
This information provides a more accurate measure of health than weight or BMI alone and is useful for fitness planning, weight management, and medical monitoring.
