fat.
Lunar iDXA, (2) Lunar Prodigy and (3) Hologic Discovery A in measuring bone density and body
fat.
For this study, two specific groups of volunteers will be recruited. In one group, the scan
will measure bone density and in the other group the scan will measure fat. The groups will
be broken into weight groups to determine which of the scanners the subject will be scanned
on. Subjects will have the option to participate in either one or both groups.
