DEXA Scans in Tampa, FL — Measure What Matters: Bone Density, Visceral Fat, and Body Composition
The scale doesn't tell you the full story. A DEXA scan gives you the precise breakdown of your bone health, fat distribution, and lean muscle mass — in one 15-minute scan.
A DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scan is the gold standard for measuring body composition. It goes far beyond BMI or body weight — giving us precise data on your bone mineral density, total body fat percentage, visceral fat load (the dangerous fat around your organs), and lean muscle mass by region.

At Ascend Health & Wellness, we use DEXA scans as a baseline for our functional medicine and longevity protocols — and to track real progress over time. Whether you're managing osteoporosis risk, optimizing athletic performance, tracking results from a GLP-1 protocol, or simply wanting to know your true body composition, a DEXA scan gives us objective data to work with.

What a DEXA Scan Measures

Lean muscle mass by arm, leg, and trunk

Total body fat percentage and fat mass by region

Visceral fat mass — the most dangerous type of internal fat

Bone mineral density (BMD) by spine, hip, and total body

T-score and Z-score for osteopenia/osteoporosis risk classification

Android-to-gynoid fat ratio (cardiovascular risk marker)
