DXA / DEXA Scan
Bone Density, Muscle Mass + Body Fat Composition
A DXA/DEXA Scan is a dual energy scan to assess low bone density and possible structural deterioration of the skeletal system as well as body fat composition and lean muscle mass. A DXA/DEXA Scan utilizes ionizing low energy x-ray and is performed by a radiology technologist at The Feng Clinic for Dr. Feng’s analysis.
- Bone density scans are typically done every two years.
- Body fat and muscle mass composition scanning can be done as needed to track your fitness progress.
- The amount of x-ray exposure is less than the radiation exposure from flying from the East coast to the West coast.
- Equivalent to about 1/10th of the exposure in a chest x-ray exam.
- The DXA scan is non-invasive and painless. It only takes a few minutes to complete.

- "I was thrilled to have NO PAIN from my procedure! Almost 9 hours of surgery and I awoke with NO nausea, no pain. I was afraid after the nerve block wore off I would have pain…but NO!"
- "She took a good long time talking with me and my husband, so if there was a time when I had to wait, I figured she was giving someone else her undivided attention…I felt totally taken care of"
