Body Composition Scanning using DXA has been proven to be significantly more accurate than other technologies including bioelectrical impedance and skinfold thickness measurements.
A DXA Body Composition Scan is the solution for people wanting highly accurate body composition information to assist with their fitness training or weight-loss program. DXA scanning is able to provide your...

The most common cause for loss of bone density is osteoporosis.
Given that women lose bone from about the age of 45 (linked with Oestrogen production falling), a Bone Density Scan that enables a like for like comparison over time is useful to alert patients and provide time for them to minimise risks of Osteoporosis.
Information about Osteoporosis can be found at the Osteoporosis Australia website here.

Ultrasound does not use ionising radiation so is considered very safe.
To acquire the images water-based gel is applied to your skin and then a hand-held ultrasound transducer is moved over the area of interest.
The ultrasound examination is performed by our highly trained Sonographers who then forward the images to our specialist doctors. The Radiologist then prepares a report for your referring practitioner.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title="Preparation" tab_id="1515627639848-2e7cdc77-ce81"][vc_column_text]

Mammography
Mammograms involve a low dose X-ray examination of the Breasts. Mammography plays an important part in the early detection of Breast Cancer, before there are any signs or symptoms of the disease. A Mammogram can be either 2D or 3D.
A 3D Mammogram captures a series of thin ‘layers’ (around 1mm thick) through the breast providing greater detail.
3D Mammography can demonstrate early invasive breast cancers more clearly than 2D Mammography alone. 3D Mammograms may be more valuable for those with dense breast tissue or implants.
2D Mammogram capture images in 2 dimensions....
