Chughtai Lab offers a DEXA scan, which is a high-precision X-ray that measures your bone mineral density and bone loss. A DEXA scan tends to be more accurate than a typical x-ray, because it can detect even small changes in bone loss. Doctors consider it more reliable than other methods of calculating body fat percentage.
DEXA scan can help:
- Assess bone strength
- Detect osteoporosis before a fracture occurs
- Measure total body fat
- Predict your chances of fractures in the future (FRAX report)
- Track the progress of your treatment
