For anyone losing a significant amount of weight

Lose the fat.
Keep the muscle.
Protect your bones.

When weight comes off, some of it can be muscle, and bone can follow. The scales can’t tell the difference. A body composition and bone density scan can.

The number on the scales

isn't the whole story.
You’ve put real effort into your health. The scales show how much has changed, but not what has changed.
Make sure you’re losing what you mean to lose, and keeping the strength you’ll need for decades.
What the scales don't show

Not every

kilo lost is fat.
During substantial weight loss, part of what’s lost can be lean mass, including muscle.1 Less muscle means less load on your skeleton, and bone density can fall over time.2 Strength training and enough protein help, but you can only manage what you measure.

What a scan seesThe same weight, broken down
Body fat
Lean mass (incl. muscle)
■ Body fat■ Lean mass (incl. muscle)■ Bone

Fat mass

Where it’s coming off, including the deep visceral fat around organs.

Lean mass

Whether you’re holding on to muscle, and where you may be losing it.

Bone density

A baseline now, so any change later is measured against you.
What you'll learn

Three measures

that matter more than weight.

Muscle mass

Muscle drives strength, balance, metabolism and independence. See how much you have in your arms, legs and trunk, and track it as you go.

Bone density

Reported by a radiologist. A baseline now makes any future change visible early, while there’s time to act on it with your GP.

Fat mass

Including visceral fat, the kind linked to heart and metabolic health. See the change that matters, not just the change on the scales.

Where are you now?

The right time to scan

depends on where you are.
Men and women

Your body, your numbers,

your pace.
Your results are compared with you, not with an ideal. No judgement, no lectures, just clear information you control.

For men

Bone loss isn’t just a women’s issue. Keep the strength you train for, and know your bone health before it becomes a problem.

For women

If you’re also in or near menopause, bone and muscle are already under pressure. Weight change adds to that. Worth knowing both.

Private by design

A private room, and results discussed one-to-one. You choose which numbers you want to see.

Built for every size

Our scanner table supports up to 220 kg. Ask us anything before you book.
How it works

No GP visit needed

to get started.
1

Book and answer a few questions

A short health questionnaire goes to a radiologist, who issues your referral when a scan is appropriate for you.
2

A quick, comfortable scan

You lie still on an open, padded table for around 4 minutes, fully clothed. No needles, no enclosed tunnel.
3

Results explained, then tracked

We walk you through your numbers in plain English, send a copy to your doctor if you’d like, and compare each follow-up scan with your baseline.

Numbers you and your

health team can act on.
Share your results with the people supporting your health, and adjust your plan while it still counts.

Weightloss Package

Lose weight smarter. An RMR test to measure the calories you burn at rest, a DEXA scan and consult with an exercise physiologist, plus a follow-up DEXA scan within 12 months. Body composition only, no bone density.

Prices do not include the referral, which we arrange for you when you book. Bone density is only in the Healthy Ageing Assessment. Medicare rebates and private health extras vary, so check your cover before you book.
Good to know
Low-dose X-ray. DEXA uses a very small amount of radiation. Less than a flight from Sydney to Brisbane.
How often? Follow-up timing is guided by the radiologist and your doctor, typically 24 months for bone density and 3-12 months for body composition.
Victoria: body composition scans now need a referral. We arrange this for you as part of booking.

Make sure you're losing

what you mean to lose.
