Body Fat Measures

→‎DEXA

Different tissues in the body absorb different frequencies of X-Rays at different levels. This technique (Deal-Energy X-Ray Absorpiometry) uses two frequencies of X-Rays and looks at the different absorption to work out body fat. This is the current 'gold standard' and I believe it will show the distribution of body fat as well as the level. I have not found anywhere locally that provides DEXA.
