DEXA Scan in Portland, Oregon
The scale hides fat, muscle, and bone.
A DexaFit Portland DEXA scan reaches far beyond one number on a display. Low-dose X-ray maps your body region by region and surfaces detail a scale, a tape measure, or a smart device will never show you.
In a single scan you read body fat percentage, lean muscle, visceral fat, and bone density. With precise numbers tied to your own body, your calls on training, fat loss, bone health, and the long view get easier to make.

The DexaFit Difference
Most health decisions ride on rough estimates when there is no accurate data behind them. DexaFit Portland reads your DEXA scan into something clear and usable, so you know exactly where you stand and what comes next.
Without DexaFit
A standard report drops a set of numbers in your lap with no context, so you are left guessing how to read them or what to do differently.
With DexaFit
Interactive dashboards drawn from over a decade of real-world data across four continents. Your numbers turn into working guidance on fat distribution, muscle balance, and long-term health.
Know Your Body, Not Just Your Weight
Your body does not have to stay a guessing game. One brief DEXA session at DexaFit Portland hands back precise, repeatable numbers on your composition, muscle, and bone.
Whether the goal is dropping fat, adding strength, or guarding your long-term health, those numbers replace guesswork with clear, confident decisions.

DEXA, short for dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, is the clinical gold standard for body composition. BMI, BodPod, and bioimpedance only estimate. DEXA measures, with far more detail and consistency.
You leave with a region-by-region breakdown of fat, muscle, and bone, plus a baseline you can keep measuring against over time.

How is a DexaFit scan different from a regular DEXA scan?
Every DexaFit scan begins with the same clinical-grade DEXA measurement, then layers Fit AI over the top. Past body fat, lean mass, and bone density, you also see your biological age and how your readings stack up against age- and sex-matched ranges. That turns a scan into something you can act on.
What does the scan actually tell me?
You walk away with a complete read on your body: fat mass, lean muscle, visceral fat, and bone density. Each result is set against age- and sex-matched reference ranges and displayed as a color-coded heat map, so change is easy to read and track over time.
How do I prepare for my appointment?
Arrive hydrated and hold off on exercise that day. Dress in comfortable clothing free of metal such as zippers and belts, and bring socks. You will empty your pockets and take off watches, glasses, and jewelry.
For the scan itself you rest on an open-air table. It is fast and uses a low dose of radiation, roughly the equivalent of a few hours of everyday background exposure.
How frequently should I get scanned?
A scan every 3 to 6 months suits most people. That window is long enough to register real change and to confirm whether your training and nutrition are doing their job.
How does DEXA stack up against other body composition methods?
DEXA is the clinical gold standard for body composition. It measures fat, lean, and bone directly across three compartments, unlike two-compartment approaches such as hydrostatic weighing or BodPod. Home scales and handheld devices estimate from electrical signals and drift with hydration, which adds error. DEXA measures directly, region by region, for a steadier read.
Who chooses a DEXA scan, and what for?
It works for a wide spread of goals: people losing weight who want to separate fat from muscle, athletes dialing in their training, and anyone focused on aging well who wants a baseline on bone density, lean mass, and visceral fat. Longevity voices like Dr. Peter Attia, author of Outlive, cite DEXA for its precision.
