Hurt my knee Friday night and got an MRI appointment Sunday evening (booked Sunday afternoon). Waited about 2 minutes and was done in just over 30 minutes. The team was amazing, friendly and efficient.

Dr. Osama's team was gentle and amazing. After a bad experience elsewhere, my pelvic exam here was much more professional. Great report and very precise.

Body Composition DEXA Scan in Dubai: The Most Accurate Body Analysis
Clinical-grade measurement of body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, visceral fat, and regional body composition
Clinical-Grade Accuracy
DEXA measures body fat to within 1-2% accuracy, the gold standard for body composition assessment
Visceral Fat Quantification
Direct measurement of metabolically dangerous visceral fat surrounding internal organs
Regional Breakdown
Detailed fat and lean mass analysis for each arm, leg, and trunk segment for targeted training
A body composition DEXA scan provides the most accurate clinical measurement of your body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, bone mineral content, and visceral fat level. Unlike bathroom scales, bioelectrical impedance devices, or skin calipers, DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) directly measures the three compartments of body composition with a precision of 1-2%. At DCDC in Dubai Healthcare City, this scan gives you the definitive data you need for fitness optimization, weight management, or medical assessment of metabolic risk.
The body composition DEXA scan works by passing two low-energy X-ray beams through the entire body. Different tissues (fat, lean mass, and bone) attenuate each beam differently, allowing the system to calculate the exact amount and distribution of each tissue type. The result is a comprehensive map showing total body fat percentage, total lean mass, bone mineral content, android (abdominal) fat, gynoid (hip/thigh) fat, visceral adipose tissue (VAT), and regional breakdown for each arm, leg, and trunk segment.
Visceral fat measurement is one of the most clinically significant components of the body composition scan. Visceral adipose tissue surrounds the internal organs in the abdominal cavity and is strongly associated with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome. DEXA quantifies visceral fat directly, providing a far more accurate assessment of metabolic risk than waist circumference or BMI alone. A high visceral fat level with a normal BMI identifies individuals at elevated cardiovascular risk who would otherwise go undetected.
