Lean Muscle Mass Analysis
A DEXA scan measures your lean muscle mass for your whole body and limb by limb — showing left-to-right balance and how muscle changes over time. It turns training and healthy-aging goals into something you can actually measure, for $250 in Wayne, PA.
Segmental, limb-by-limb data
A DEXA scan doesn’t just tell you how much lean muscle you carry overall — it breaks it down by region. Your report shows lean mass for your arms, legs, and trunk, and separates your left side from your right. That regional view is what makes the scan useful beyond a single whole-body number.
For anyone who trains, this is the difference between guessing and knowing. You can see whether a training block actually added lean mass, whether it was distributed the way you intended, and whether any side-to-side imbalance is worth a conversation with your trainer or clinician.
Because DEXA measures tissue directly and consistently, comparing two scans reflects real change rather than the day-to-day noise of a scale.
Muscle and healthy aging
Lean muscle is increasingly recognized as an important marker of long-term health — tied to strength, mobility, and resilience as the years go on. Sarcopenia, the gradual age-related loss of muscle mass and strength, is one reason many people want an objective baseline while they still have room to act.
A DEXA scan can measure and track your lean mass over time, giving you and your physician real data to work with. It is a measurement, not a diagnosis: any clinical assessment of sarcopenia, and any plan to address it, belongs with your own clinicians.
Knowing where you stand now means you can protect and build muscle intentionally, and see whether your efforts are working.

Common questions
What is segmental muscle analysis?
Segmental analysis reports lean muscle mass separately for each region — your arms, legs, and trunk — and for your left and right sides. It shows not just how much muscle you have, but how evenly it is distributed.
Why does left-to-right balance matter?
Noticeable differences between sides can be useful information for training and rehabilitation. A DEXA scan makes any imbalance visible so you and your trainer or clinician can decide whether it's worth addressing.
Can DEXA help with sarcopenia?
Sarcopenia is the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength. DEXA can measure and track lean mass over time, which is one part of the broader clinical picture. Diagnosis and management belong with your physician.
How often should I rescan to track muscle?
You can rescan as often as you like. If you're tracking something specific, somewhere between every three to four months and once a year is reasonable — your report includes a recommendation based on your results. Scanning under similar conditions keeps results comparable.
Do I need a referral, and what does it cost?
No referral is needed. A complete DEXA body composition scan, including segmental lean mass, is $250 flat and cash-pay.
A complete DEXA body composition scan, including segmental lean mass, is $250 — flat, with no referral or insurance needed.
