Looking for a DEXA scan near Artarmon?
Body Measure’s St Leonards clinic is a short trip away, with full body composition results explained the same day.
What is a DEXA scan, exactly?
DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) uses two low-dose X-ray beams to measure exactly how much of your body is fat, muscle and bone — directly, not estimated from a formula like a smart scale or skinfold calipers.
It’s considered the clinical gold standard for body composition testing, used in hospitals, sports science labs and research settings. At Body Measure, the same medical-grade equipment is available without a referral, just a short trip from Artarmon.
