⚖️ Lipodensitometry (DEXA): precise analysis of fat and muscle mass

Lipodensitometry is a highly accurate examination that measures body composition: fat mass, lean mass (muscles), and bone density. Performed using DEXA technology (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry), it is widely used in sports medicine, nutrition, weight loss monitoring, or hormonal treatments.

🩺 Why do a lipodensitometry test?

This exam is recommended to:

• Assess body fat percentage
• Measure muscle and lean mass
• Monitor the effectiveness of a weight loss or fitness program
• Identify visceral obesity or sarcopenia
• Obtain an overall body assessment during nutritional follow-up

⚙️ How does the DEXA exam work?

• Quick exam (10 to 20 minutes)
• Painless, no prior preparation
• The patient lies on a table, clothed, no injection
• The device scans the entire body with a low level of X-rays
• Results available immediately with precise distribution by body segment

✅ Advantages of DEXA lipodensitometry

• Reference exam for body composition
• More accurate than a bioelectrical impedance scale or surface scanner
• Allows rigorous medical monitoring of body changes
• Low radiation dose
