THE NEXT PHASE IN PATIENT CARE

Health data as precise as it is comprehensive: this is medical technology that changes lives almost immediately

WHAT IS DEXA?

DEXA — dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry — advances diagnostics and clinical decision-making capabilities thanks to minimally detectable x-ray scans that identify a person’s:

BONE DENSITY

VISCERAL FAT

MUSCLE MASS

THE PATIENT EXPERIENCE

1. AN EMPOWERING OVERVIEW

Patients learn how DEXA technology helps prevent or combat debilitative health issues.

2. SIMPLE STREAMLINED

Swift and non-invasive, few procedures boast a DEXA scan’s ease and comfort for patients.

3. A PATH TO WELLNESS

A DEXA report is easy to understand, supporting the development of an effective health plan.

WHAT PATIENTS SEE

PERSONALIZATION

Customize scan results for the exact needs of each patient.

SPECIFICATION

Identify the specific composition — fat tissue, lean tissue, etc. — of the arms, legs, trunk, abdomen, and hips.

PROGRESSION

Gauge the progress of a patient’s health or athletic improvement with comprehensive graphs and charts.
Why DEXA+

FRACTURE RISK

Determine a patient’s 10-year fracture risk based on World Health Organization standards.

MUSCLE LOSS RISK

Determine the presence of sarcopenia, a degenerative loss of skeletal mass, quality, and strength.

RESTING METABOLIC RATE

Ascertain the rate at which a patient burns calories while at rest.

DEXA VS OTHER BODY COMP METHODS

BODY SCAN

DEXA Scanner
No other technique comes close to a DEXA scan’s precision. A DEXA body composition scan can:
Identify the exact location and amounts of health-damaging fat throughout your body.
Raise a red flag when bone density and muscle mass reach dangerous lows
METHODS USED IN THE PAST CARRY SERIOUS SHORTCOMINGS.
BMI FORMULA

The popular body mass index (BMI) formula used to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy weight is more than 180 years old.

HYDROSTATIC UNDERWATER WEIGHING
This technique requires submersion into a tank of water three times.
Patient discomfort is notable: patients must expel all the air from their lungs and remain motionless while being weighed … and they must do this three separate times.
CALIPERS
Imprecise locating of the appropriate areas to measure renders the test practically worthless.
Formulas used as a part of this test require assumptions that do not apply to every person being tested.

THE PATIENT EXPERIENCE

1. AN EMPOWERING OVERVIEW

A robust feature list, relative ease of use, and reasonable footprint mean you can begin offering new services almost immediately.

2. SIMPLE STREAMLINED

Offering DEXA body composition scans extends your practice’s reach to just about anyone who is interested in bettering their own personal health.

3. A PATH TO WELLNESS

Bill patients directly without the time, effort, and aggravation — for you and the patient — associated with insurance billing procedures.
