Body Composition Analysis
The innovative Prodigy Advance technology by GE Healthcare offers a comprehensive body composition analysis (Body Composition Analysis) with absolute accuracy, speed, and reliability through the DEXA (Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry) method.
The pioneering DEXA method, which is considered the gold reference standard, measures all three body components (muscles, fat, and bones) with exceptional accuracy, whether it concerns the loss or gain of muscle mass or fat tissue. It also accurately calculates BMI (Body Mass Index), according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification, while achieving body type categorization into android and gynoid profiles.
Why Choose the DEXA Method?
Accuracy & Reliability: Considered the gold standard in body fat measurement, offering precise measurements for muscle mass, fat, and bone density.
Advanced Body Analysis: Measures each body region separately (arms, legs, torso), providing detailed information for every section.
BMI (Body Mass Index) Calculation: Based on international WHO standards.
Personalized Nutrition & Exercise Planning: Accurately calculates basal metabolic rate (RMR) for tailored diet and fitness programs.
Advantages of Body Fat Measurement with DEXA:
Precise fat tissue analysis in every body area.
Assessment of muscle atrophy after injury or illness.
Monitoring of muscle and fat tissue changes over time.
Determining ideal weight and metabolic rate for personalized nutrition.
Targeted exercise programs, especially for athletes.
Extremely low radiation exposure, equivalent to a simple sunlight exposure.
Speed & Comfort: The examination takes only 3 minutes.
Cutting-Edge Technology in Body Composition Analysis
The DEXA method is ideal for athletes, for tracking the effectiveness of diet and nutrition programs, for detecting muscle atrophy and monitoring muscle recovery, for diagnosing osteopenia and osteoporosis, and for tracking body composition changes due to diet, injury, surgery, or aging.
Unlike other radiological methods, the amount of radiation exposure with Affidea's next-generation Prodigy Advance system is minimal to zero, equivalent to a common sun exposure.
The DEXA method is already used by research institutes, universities, clinics, professional sports teams, and sports institutes.
