Locating a DEXA scan in Seattle used to be difficult. Until now. Nomad Fit Lab now offers mobile DEXA scan services in the Seattle area.
We partner with gyms, trainers, and fitness centers in the Seattle area to bring you accessible and affordable DEXA scans.
DEXA stands for dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. What that essentially means is we are measuring the amount of calcium and other minerals in a bone by passing X-rays with two different energy levels through the bone. As a result we get a really good measure of bone mineral density (BMD).
DEXA scans are commonly used to diagnose osteoporosis, a condition that exists when you have a lower BMD. But DEXA scans will also measure fat and muscle composition in the body. This is great information for tracking your fitness or weight loss goals.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) a DEXA scan is considered the gold standard for measuring bone density and body composition. This is primarily because they are highly accurate with relatively minimal radiation exposure.
In the past, getting a DEXA scan has been difficult. Despite being the gold standard for body composition testing, you typically had to go to a hospital, (think UW Medicine in Seattle) or an imaging center (like Swedish Medical Group Imaging) to get one. This was typically expensive or inconvenient for most Seattleites.
But now you can book a DEXA scan throughout Seattle. Our mobile DEXA scan service can visit any gym or training facility in Seattle and provide you with a scan in under 15 minutes. Just find the nearest location to you by visiting our website: https://www.nomadfitlab.com/seattle-dexa-scans.
