DEXA 4 Factor Body Composition Analysis is the most accurate form of body composition analysis. It uses Xray technology to account for muscle tissue, bone, fat, and H20 in one's body composition. Our DEXA here on campus is the most advanced model made by GE and costs about 4 million bucks.

Below is my scan from today - the end of my summer diet.

Today's body fat is 5.2%

Very cutting edge technology,insane how it progresses every year. To think, in the next year or 2 this will be completely obsolete. Very neat

Absolutely awesome! You now have to renew your avatar . . .

I like the DEXA scan as a measurement instrument because of its accuracy.

In my experience, one's bodyfat is the single most inaccurately report number in all of bodybuilding. Guys always think they are lower than what that actually are.

I've put hundreds of guys in the DEXA who would stand there and tell me their body fat was such-and-such.

Typically, guys underestimate their bodyfat by about 3-5%.

Most guys think if they can see an ab their at 10% or less. That is typically wrong. When I scan them and they come back at 14% they are just stunned and the machine must be wrong.....

Interestingly, girls overestimate their body fat by about the same 3-5%

Hey, any chance you can upload the scan again? I'm curious to see what it looks like.

Does that 5.2% include essential body fat (at nerve endings, around organs, etc.) or not?

Weird. File is still in same location. Anyhow, fixed now.

Yes - the body is completely scanned using MI technology.
