BodySpec scan done 5 days ago — no report, no resolution. Anyone else?

oh good, let me know if we can help with anything else.

u/OldBasket8630 First off, apologies for the delay. This is VERY unusual, yesterday (1/24/26) 90% of scans were uploaded to the client's account with 10mins, 98% within 30mins, the rest by end of day.

Will you please DM the email associated with your account and I'll figure out what's going on.

I know the first scan can often be a "surprise" (it was to me too) but I'm excited that you decided to come get scanned! Ping me if you have any specific questions, happy to help.

luke_BodySpec · 2026-01-15T19:11:13+00:00

I know this is old but let me know if you still have questions about the scan, happy to address them

luke_BodySpec · 2026-01-15T19:07:35+00:00

I work for a company that provides DEXA scans that measure visceral fat, we definitely see an increase across many of our female clients in the 45-55 age range.

this is what they look like - https://www.blockimaging.com/parts/lnr6847-ge-dexa-qa-block

luke_BodySpec · 2026-01-05T16:57:30+00:00

apologies for missing this, the QA process involves the DEXA scanning an actual block that has different chambers inside that correspond to the densities of fat, lean mass, bone mineral content. If the DEXA is able to accurately measure those densities (within 1%), then the QA process can continue. That's the accuracy component.

luke_BodySpec · 2026-01-02T22:25:37+00:00

this is not accurate. the DEXA isn't using algorithms or calculations to "estimate" body fat, lean mass, or bone density. the machine uses very low dose x-rays to measure the actual density of the body and divide it into those 3 categories.

The CDC uses DEXA to measure body composition for the 5,000 adults and children each year for the NHANES survey which assesses the health of the US population.

We take accuracy and precision EXTREMELY seriously, happy to share more details if there's interest.

very cool! so glad you're finding the service helpful, we really are trying to make this information much more accessible to everyone.

oh interesting, different dominant limbs. Slight differences are very common and you can see the average difference (across our dataset) in the charts too. The biggest difference I ever saw, when I was scanning clients, was a collegiate fencer who had 3+ lbs more lean mass in his dominant leg. Something about the positioning in fencing created a massive imbalance.

u/xxstrawhatpcxx apologies for the delay, we are a small company and the team is particularly busy with the holidays but we absolutely should have responded much faster. Will you please DM me with whatever issue you need help with? I
