Body Analysis with Dexa
DEXA (Dual-energy X-ray); It is the most reliable and fastest method of body composition measurement. It is also a very good choice to see the body composition. It is a much more sensitive method than any other method, including BMI BodPod and hydrostatic weighing. It not only tells us the amount of fat and lean mass in our body, but also gives us information about the distribution of fat in our body.
DEXA; It is referred to as the "Gold Standard" in muscle, fat and bone density measurements. It is an FDA approved technology. It gives the most accurate and consistent results, which are also accepted by academic circles.
DEXA; It gives us information about both the dangerous fats in our body and the proportions of the fats in the internal organs.
DEXA uses low-energy radiation as the measurement method; For example, it is one-tenth of a lung x-ray. Therefore, the technician performing the examination can work in the room without the need for any X-ray protection. The test is painless and considered completely safe.
