What is a DEXA Whole Body Test?
The DEXA Whole Body Test is a low-radiation digital X-ray image of the whole body that measures body composition and bone health. It measures body fat percentage, body Lean tissue mass, and fat distribution in the body very accurately.
The exam is painless, fast, and exposes patients to extremely low levels of radiation. It is commonly used as a screening test, for nutritional evaluation, in sports medicine, for weight management, and to monitor chronic bone and muscle disease.
Common Reasons for a DEXA Whole Body Test
- Osteoporosis screening
- Bone mineral density assessment
- Body fat percentage analysis
- Lean muscle mass evaluation
- Fitness and athletic performance monitoring
- Weight management assessment
- Monitoring nutritional status
- Assessment of age-related muscle loss
- Follow-up during osteoporosis treatment
Conditions Evaluated
Osteoporosis
Detects reduced bone mineral density and assesses fracture risk.

Identifies early bone loss before osteoporosis develops.
Body Composition
Measures total body fat, lean muscle mass, and body fat distribution.
Sarcopenia
Evaluates loss of muscle mass associated with ageing or chronic illness.
Obesity Assessment
Provides detailed information about body fat percentage and fat distribution.
Treatment Monitoring
Tracks changes in bone density and body composition during medical treatment, nutrition programs, or fitness plans.
