Specialising in the best available DEXA technology, we deliver unparalleled precision in assessing bone health and body composition, providing clinicians with the insights they need to enhance patient care.
Our referral partners, including highly respected sports and exercise physicians, integrative medicine doctors, and other specialist physicians, as well as leading physiotherapists, dietitians, and exercise physiologists, utilise our advanced whole-body DEXA scans. These scans provide highly accurate measurements of fat mass, lean mass, and visceral fat, offering essential insights that help optimise healthspan, performance, and longevity.
Why Choose Arekai Imaging?
- Specialist-Led Expertise: Our skilled team ensures precision at every stage—from scan preparation through to interpretation. We leverage cutting-edge technology that enhances operator efficiency, delivers rapid scan times, and provides comprehensive data for both bone health and body composition.
- DXAVision™ Technology: DXAVision™ streamlines bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition data collection, including subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue (SAT and VAT). It improves efficiency with up to 40% faster scan times and offers comprehensive reporting with options for total body and custom regions of interest (ROI).
- CoreScan Technology: CoreScan assesses visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) in the android region, presenting data in user-defined formats that help track trends and manage metabolic health risks.
- Advanced Analytics: Our platform provides deep insights into BMD and body composition, drawing from over 200 parameters. It supports custom metrics, equations, and reporting with user-defined thresholds and trends.
- Sarcopenia Assessment: Our sarcopenia software calculates appendicular lean mass (ALM) based on established guidelines, helping clinicians assess muscle mass and function alongside physical performance to manage sarcopenia.
Common Reasons for a Scan
A DEXA body composition scan may be recommended for various healthspan, longevity, and performance reasons, including:
- Visceral Fat Quantification: To assess risks for cardiovascular and metabolic conditions.
- Athletic Performance Monitoring: For tracking muscle mass and fat distribution to optimize performance and recovery.
- Sarcopenia (Muscle Loss): To monitor muscle mass loss, particularly in older adults or those with chronic illnesses.
- Obesity and Weight Management: To measure fat and lean mass as part of a comprehensive weight management strategy.
- Metabolic Syndrome: To assess body composition in managing risks associated with metabolic health.
These are just some of the common reasons for a scan, with others as indicated by your referring practitioner.
