Accuracy over guessing
DEXA is commonly treated as the gold standard for body composition because it estimates fat, lean tissue, and bone-related outputs from a detailed scan rather than a simple formula.
DEXA body composition scans
Know what your body is made of.
DEXA is widely regarded as the gold standard for accurate body composition measurement. It gives you a detailed look at fat mass, lean mass, visceral fat, bone mineral content, estimated resting metabolic rate, and the numbers behind a healthier lifestyle.

Why DEXA
A clearer measurement for a healthier lifestyle.
Most progress tools are either too vague or too easy to overreact to. DEXA gives you a scan-based body composition snapshot you can use for fitness, nutrition, strength, weight loss, healthy aging, and long-term wellness tracking.
More than body weight
Two people can weigh the same and have very different body composition. DEXA helps separate body fat percentage, fat mass, lean mass, and regional distribution.
Useful wellness context
Visceral fat estimates, regional body composition, bone mineral content, and resting metabolic rate give you more context for setting practical lifestyle goals.
A better checkpoint
Use each scan as a measurement checkpoint: compare results, adjust habits, and keep your plan grounded in real body composition data.
Healthy progress
Measure, adjust, keep going.
The point is not chasing a perfect number. The point is having an accurate checkpoint that helps you make better decisions about training, nutrition, recovery, and consistency.
Start with a scan
Get a clear picture of body composition before guessing what needs to change.
Build the habit plan
Use the results to set measurable goals around body fat percentage, lean mass, visceral fat, or other scan outputs.
Rescan with perspective
Quarterly is our recommended rhythm because it gives lifestyle changes enough time to show up without letting the next checkpoint drift too far away.

FAQ
Before you book.
What is a DEXA scan?
DEXA, also called DXA, stands for dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. It uses two low-energy X-ray beams to estimate differences between bone, lean tissue, and fat tissue.
How long does it take?
Quarterly Scan Co. appointments are booked through the live scheduling calendar. The scan itself is quick, and the exact visit flow can vary by location.
How should I prepare for my scan?
For the cleanest comparison over time, try to scan under similar conditions each visit. Wear comfortable clothing without metal hardware, remove jewelry and large accessories, and avoid showing up immediately after a very large meal or intense workout.
What should I wear?
Choose light, fitted clothing if possible. Athletic wear usually works well as long as it does not have metal zippers, snaps, thick buttons, or heavy embellishments that could interfere with the scan.
What does the scan measure?
A DEXA body composition scan estimates fat mass, lean mass, body fat percentage, regional body composition, visceral fat estimates, and bone-related scan outputs. Quarterly Scan Co. focuses on using those numbers for wellness and fitness monitoring.
Why not just use a smart scale?
Smart scales can be useful for daily habits, but they are highly affected by hydration, timing, and device assumptions. DEXA gives a more detailed scan-based snapshot, which makes it stronger for quarterly checkpoints.
Where is the Sherman location?
Scans are currently available at Center for Family Medicine, 1906 W US Hwy 82, Sherman, TX 75092.
What machine is used at the Sherman location?
The Sherman location uses a Hologic Horizon DEXA machine for Quarterly Scan Co. body composition scans.
When are scans available?
Current appointment availability is shown in the Sherman booking calendar.
How often should I scan?
For most fitness and wellness tracking goals, Quarterly Scan Co. encourages scanning quarterly. A 90-day window is long enough for training, nutrition, and habit changes to show a more meaningful trend.
Can I scan more often than quarterly?
You can, but more frequent scans are not always more useful. Body composition changes take time, so quarterly scans are a practical rhythm for seeing real movement without overreacting to short-term noise.
Will my results explain why my weight changed?
They can add helpful context. A scale only shows total weight, while DEXA helps separate fat mass and lean mass so you can better understand whether your plan is changing the right things.
Do I get results after the scan?
Your scan produces a body composition report you can use for goal setting, progress tracking, and future quarterly comparisons.
Is there radiation exposure?
DEXA uses low-dose X-rays. Quarterly Scan Co. keeps the framing practical and wellness-focused: scan at a useful cadence, compare results over time, and talk with a qualified professional if you have personal concerns about X-ray exposure.
Is it only for athletes?
No. DEXA can be useful for people working on weight loss, strength, healthy aging, habit change, or understanding how their body composition is changing over time.
Is this for diagnosis?
No. Quarterly Scan Co. is focused on wellness, fitness monitoring, and body composition trends. It is not a diagnostic medical service.
