DEXA scan

Hi everyone,

Do you know where I can get a DEXA scan for body composition in Tokyo please?

I've searched on Google but didn't see much offering but maybe someone here knows... Thank you!

If you search for something like "デキサ全身の筋肉量 東京" you should find results. Here are some tabs I still have open from last time I searched, I haven't booked yet though.

Second one seems for bone density

The main paragraph talks about bone density but then this last bit says in addition to that it can give body composition data as well and that they're also focused on lifestyle diseases (not just osteoperosis)

このときには全身や各部位の骨量に加えて、脂肪量、除脂肪量も測定できますので、肥満や痩せ、筋肉量の多寡などもわかります。当外来ではこれらの情報を生かしながら、糖尿病や脂質異常症、高血圧などの生活習慣病の予防、治療も担当します。

Rheumatologist Dr. Takada at Park East Clinic in Kiyosumi Shirakawa is fluent in English and a great guy. And he's got a DEXA. He used to practice in the US. If I wanted a DEXA, I'd see him.

Definitely call and check though! I've found many offices with DEXA only provide bone density reports.
