The power to maximize performance

For competitive athletes, changes to body composition can significantly impact performance. By monitoring distribution of fat and lean mass, along with bone density, athletes and trainers receive valuable information to maximize performance.

Metabolic Information (Advanced Body Comp)

Tools to help athletes understand impact of diet, lifestyle and exercise on health and performance. Color Coding of Body Composition (lean, fat and bone distribution) images. Metabolic results include RMR, RSMI, BMC, fat and lean trending and more.
Color mapping tool to set threshold adjustments to fat%.¹

Sports Athletics Package

Smart scanning lets you easily select body regions to scan and report on, including Total Body Less Head (TBLH) and Smaller Body Composition. Use Smaller Body Composition (ROI) to monitor body symmetry and track injury recovery. Data can be help to develop rehabilitation programs.

Advanced Analytics

Provides deep analytic insights with custom equations, metrics and ratios based on 200+ parameters. Use to generate bone and body composition insights that can be applied across your athlete population (including retrospectively).

Smarter scanning with DXAVision

To assess body composition, traditional Total Body exams scan the entire body and are one of the most time-consuming sites for a DXA exam. With new scan acquisition methods, DXAVision^TM now offers a better experience that reduces both scan time and dose.

DXAVision provides a variety of benefits:
• Scans that are up to 40% faster than traditional Total Body exams²
• Three options for faster Total Body exams
• Lower radiation dose³
• Improve operator efficiency with a time-saving exam protocol
• Comprehensive reporting for BMD and body composition together⁴
