A DEXA full-body scan provides valuable insights that can help with early disease prevention and promote employee health in your workplace.
With a DEXA full-body scan, companies can offer employees an accurate and professional health check that provides insight into their bone health, fat distribution and muscle mass.
A DEXA full-body scan can provide your employees with valuable insight into their health and form the basis for disease prevention. The scan can provide an accurate picture of the distribution between fat and muscle mass.
For businesses, it means giving employees a tool to understand their health and take preventative action. By offering this insight, you as a company not only show consideration for the individual employee, but also a focus on reducing sick leave and improving well-being in the workplace.
The scanis a strong complement to Full-body MRI scan and Health Exams. Full-body MRI scan can reveal early signs of disease, while health exams provide a broad insight into overall health. Together with DEXA's detailed picture of body fat and muscle mass, it creates a basis for early detection and prevention.
We also offer DEXA full-body scans for private individuals.
This page is about DEXA full-body scans that examine body composition of fat and muscle mass, but we also offer another type of DEXA scan that examines your bone density and osteoporosis risk. The same machine is used, but the analysis and results differ depending on whether the focus is on body composition (fat and muscle mass) or osteoporosis.
Prior to the scan
Before you book an appointment, there will be a short conversation with one of our professionals. Some simple questions will be asked to ensure that the scan is relevant and the right examination for you.
We do not recommend a DEXA full-body scan for pregnant women due to X-ray radiation.
You must be fasting for 6 hours before your DEXA full-body scan. This applies to both food and drink, however, you can take your medication as normal.

How the scan works
You lie on your back with your legs straight while a low-dose X-ray scanner slowly moves over your body and reads your body composition.
To ensure clear results, it's important that you stay calm and lie still.
The scan is painless and takes place in a large, open scanner.
The scan takes approximately 15-30 minutes.
After the scan
Once the examination is complete, you can leave the hospital immediately and return to your daily activities without restrictions.
Afterwards, you will receive a report with the results. If you have chosen the scan including consultation, the report will be reviewed with a professional to give you a thorough explanation and an opportunity to ask questions.
A DEXA full-body scan provides companies with a powerful tool for preventing lifestyle diseases, reducing absenteeism, and improving employee well-being. The scan provides an accurate picture of the body's composition, including fat mass, muscle mass, and unhealthy visceral fat, so that action can be taken in time.
For employees, it creates insight, motivation, and ownership of their own health. At the same time, as a company, you send a clear signal about responsibility and care, which strengthens commitment, security, and the overall working environment.
What makes a DEXA scan unique is its accuracy. Employees not only get a number on their fat mass, but a detailed insight into where fat and muscle mass is located on the body. It provides a far more accurate picture than traditional measurement methods and can be an important aid in understanding how lifestyle and exercise affect the body.
The scan also reveals the type of fat involved. Especially the visceral fat around the internal organs plays a major role in the risk of lifestyle diseases. With this knowledge, the individual employee can make active choices about health and prevention, and the company has a strong opportunity to support well-being and reduce sick leave.
A DEXA scan is thus a valuable tool for both health promotion and prevention, strengthening employee health in the long term.
