What a Traverse City DEXA scan measures
A DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) scan uses two low-dose X-ray beams to separate your body into fat, lean tissue and bone. It's the reference method researchers use to validate every other body-fat test. About 15 minutes lying still, fully clothed. Your scan reports:
- Total and regional body fat — arms, legs, trunk, android (waist) and gynoid (hips)
- Visceral fat (VAT) — the deep abdominal fat tied to heart disease and type 2 diabetes, invisible to a scale or tape measure
- Lean muscle mass by region — for tracking muscle on GLP-1 medications, through menopause, or during a training block
- Bone mineral density — a generalized read on body composition scans; ask about T-scores and Z-scores at your appointment
Radiation exposure is roughly equal to a cross-country flight. No fasting is required. If you may be pregnant, do not book a DEXA scan.
Why Northern Michigan is booking DEXA
- GLP-1 patients tracking muscle vs. fat loss on semaglutide or tirzepatide — baseline before the first dose, then every 3–4 months.
- Women in perimenopause and menopause monitoring bone density and lean mass alongside HRT.
- Trail runners, cyclists, skiers and Bayshore Marathon athletes dialing in training and nutrition.
- Longevity and preventive-health patients using visceral fat and appendicular lean mass as annual health markers.
