DEXA & Whole Body Composition
Gold-standard bone densitometry for osteoporosis screening and comprehensive whole-body composition analysis in Malta.
- Bone Density Screening: DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is the most accurate method to diagnose Osteopenia and Osteoporosis, crucial for post-menopausal women or those with a history of fractures.
- Whole Body Composition: We provide detailed measurements of your fat mass, lean muscle mass, and visceral fat. This is an invaluable tool for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and those optimizing their metabolic health.
- The Procedure: The scan is exceptionally fast, entirely painless, and utilizes a very low dose of X-rays—much less than a standard chest X-ray or a transatlantic flight.
- Actionable Insight: With clear reporting, this data helps you and your referring doctor tailor diets, optimize fitness plans, and manage medical treatments effectively.
