Advanced Body Composition Scan
It's As Easy As ABC
See your body as it really is! Scales are misleading as body weight is compromised of muscle, fat and bone all added together. An Advanced Body Scan Composition (ABC) Scan determines your exact body composition value by measuring your Fat Mass Index which is more accurate than Body Mass Index. There is simply no better way to evaluate metabolic and obesity related health risks.
This advanced technology is now available at Whitman Hospital with our new state of the art DXA Scanner - it is painless and takes just minutes to complete!
How does it work?
* Low levels of x-ray pass through the body and measure fat, muscle and bone.
* The scan gives you specific details about where the fat and muscle are situated on your body.
How will it benefit you?
1. Establishes a baseline
2. Monitors muscle loss or gain
3. Helps you estimate your basal metabolic rate
4. Measures deep body fat and health risks
5. Monitors muscle growth and fat loss
