DEXA Perth | Body Composition Assessment
PRICE = $120
When embarking upon any fitness or weight-loss program, having baseline measurements against which you can assess your progress is essential.
Body composition scanning using DEXA will give you exactly the start you need.
What is DEXA?
DEXA is the gold standard for body composition measurement. The scanning system measures lean muscle, fat and bone mass for the whole body and individual regions with 99% accuracy.
This makes it more accurate than Underwater Weighing, Bodpod, Bio-electrical Impedance and Skinfold measurements. It also uses significantly less radiation than CT scanning, less than a one way flight from Perth to Sydney!
Who can use it?
Researchers, professional athletes, sporting teams, physicians and dieticians around the world use the DEXA scanner.
​
Please be aware that even though the radiation level is low, the DEXA scan is not recommended for women who are currently pregnant or who may be pregnant.
