Scan types

What we measure

Full Body Composition

A head-to-toe assessment that quantifies fat mass, lean muscle mass, and bone density across the entire body. The gold standard endpoint for metabolic, obesity, and body composition clinical trials.

Endpoints captured

  • Total body fat mass
  • Lean muscle mass
  • Visceral adipose tissue (VAT)
  • Regional body composition
  • Bone mineral content
  • T-score & Z-score reporting
  • Longitudinal change tracking
  • Fat-free mass index (FFMI)
  • Appendicular lean mass index (ALMI)

Bone Density (BMD)

Targeted bone mineral density scans at clinically validated anatomical sites. Essential for osteoporosis drug trials, fracture risk studies, and any protocol requiring site-specific skeletal assessment.

Sites measured

Hip — Total hip, femoral neck, trochanter, Ward's triangle
Spine — Lumbar vertebrae L1–L4 individual and combined
Forearm — Distal and ultra-distal radius & ulna
