About DEXA Whole Body

DEXA Whole Body is an advanced medical imaging method that provides a detailed analysis of body composition, including body fat percentage, muscle mass, and bone density. Unlike standard DEXA scans that focus only on bone mineral density, DEXA Whole Body offers a comprehensive evaluation of the entire body, making it especially useful for athletes and anyone interested in monitoring weight control or muscle-building progress.

At Topmed Medical Center Târgu Mureș, we use state-of-the-art DEXA equipment that delivers precise and detailed images of body composition with minimal radiation exposure. DEXA Whole Body is safe, non-invasive, and fast, making it ideal for anyone wanting to better understand their body structure and optimize their overall health.

Who is DEXA Whole Body for?

DEXA Whole Body is especially recommended for the following categories of patients:

Athletes and fitness enthusiasts

Tracks muscle mass and body fat ratio precisely, providing essential information for optimizing training and nutrition plans. With detailed body composition analysis, athletes can achieve the ideal balance between muscle mass and body fat.

People aiming to lose weight

Offers precise data on fat loss and muscle preservation, helping tailor weight loss programs for healthy, balanced results. Supports progress monitoring and adjustments for effective and sustainable weight loss.

General health monitoring

Bone density assessment

How does the DEXA Whole Body scan work?

DEXA Whole Body is a simple, non-invasive, and quick procedure that takes about 10–20 minutes. At Topmed Târgu Mureș, it is performed in a safe and comfortable environment, with minimal radiation exposure.

Preparation

The patient lies on the DEXA table and must remain still during the scan. The device passes over the patient's body to capture detailed images of body composition.

Image capture

Uses very low-dose X-rays to measure body fat, muscle mass, and bone density. The images are analyzed by specialized software for a complete body composition evaluation.

Results evaluation

The specialist reviews and discusses the results with the patient, providing a detailed map of muscle mass, fat, and bones in the body, as well as the distribution of body fat in different regions.
