Body Composition Scan Near Me – Precise Analysis at Bodycomp Imaging

Stop Guessing. Start Measuring.

If you’re searching for a “body composition scan near me,” you’re likely ready to go beyond the scale and take your health seriously. At Bodycomp Imaging, we offer the most accurate body composition analysis using DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) — trusted by top athletes, doctors, and fitness professionals across British Columbia.
Whether you’re trying to lose fat, gain muscle, or simply get a better picture of your body’s inner structure, our scans provide data you can trust.

What Is a Body Composition Scan?

A body composition scan analyzes what your body is truly made of. It separates your weight into:

  • Fat mass
  • Lean muscle mass
  • Bone mass
  • Visceral fat (fat stored around your organs)

Rather than relying on your weight or BMI, this scan gives you a full breakdown by region — arms, legs, trunk — so you can understand your body’s strengths, imbalances, and health risks.

Why It’s Better Than Just Weighing Yourself

The scale only shows one number. It doesn’t tell you:

  • Are you losing fat or muscle?
  • Is your training program working?
  • Do you have dangerous visceral fat?
  • Is one side of your body weaker than the other?

Only a DEXA body composition scan answers these questions with clarity and precision.

DEXA: The Most Accurate Body Scan Available

DEXA technology is used in clinical, sports, and medical settings because it’s:

  • Extremely accurate – up to 98% precision
  • Non-invasive – no pain, no needles, no stress
  • Low radiation – safer than a cross-country flight
  • Fast – complete in just 10–15 minutes

It’s far more precise than bioelectrical impedance scales or handheld calipers.

What You’ll Learn from Your Scan

At Bodycomp Imaging, every scan includes:

  • Total body fat %
  • Segmental fat analysis (arms, legs, trunk)
  • Lean mass by region
  • Visceral fat level and risk score
  • Bone mass and density
  • Estimated Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)

You’ll get a visual report and an expert consultation to explain what it all means and how to apply it to your goals.

Who Should Get a Body Composition Scan?

  • Athletes – Track performance, gains, and muscular symmetry
  • Fitness beginners – Get a baseline before starting a program
  • Weight loss clients – Ensure you’re losing fat, not muscle
  • Seniors – Monitor muscle and bone mass with age
  • People recovering from injury – Measure loss or imbalances

Testimonials

Shaun Golemba

I was super impressed with this service. I was in Vancouver for a concert and was able to easily book online. It was an easy commute from Downtown on the SkyTrain with a short walk. I was greeted be the guy at the front desk and instantly was lead into the examination room. The technician was very friendly and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and showed me how to download the report. He recommended a follow up appointment in six months, which is what I was planning for myself. As luck would have it, I’m back in Vancouver for ...

As someone who’s needed help with getting their weight loss journey back on track, I had this place recommended by a friend and I’m so glad I did. I worked with Harmun to conduct the scan, and I found the process (along with the results) to be a really fantastic experience! It feels like unlocking a fitness cheat code to have this knowledge, and I highly recommend it to anyone who’s serious about getting their health in order!!

Two years in a row coming to see Harmun and he is amazing to work with. Very knowledgeable and personable. I am going every year now – maybe twice!
