While DXA is well known for its use in measuring bone density, it is also used to measure body composition- the amount of bone, fat, muscle and water in the body. This session will discuss the potential uses of this technology and application.

Learning Objectives:

Define how body composition is evaluated by DXA.
Identify the potential clinical situations in which this information could be employed.
Determine future purposes of this technology.
