The Biograph Method
May 4, 2026
What does a DEXA scan measure?
A DEXA scan provides a detailed breakdown of body composition, including body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, and bone mineral density. It can also help identify the presence and amount of visceral fat, which is associated with higher cardiometabolic risk.
This creates a more complete picture of health, fitness, and aging.
Why is a DEXA scan better than a scale?
Body weight alone can be misleading. Two people can weigh the same but have very different levels of muscle mass and visceral fat, with important implications for metabolic health.
A DEXA scan goes beyond total weight to show the amounts of muscle and fat in the body and where it is located.
How can a DEXA scan improve health decisions?
A DEXA Scan paints a clear picture of your body composition as a whole. When you understand your body composition, you can make more informed choices about nutrition, exercise, and long-term health goals.
How Biograph uses a DEXA scan
At Biograph, the DEXA Scan is integrated into a broader preventive health program. The DEXA results are combined with clinical evaluation and other advanced diagnostics to build a complete picture of health, body composition, and risk over time.
