Lean body mass is at the heart of strength, metabolism, mobility, and long-term health. But why do some people naturally have more muscle than others, despite similar diets or exercise routines? A recent study in Genome Biology explored this question in depth using whole-genome sequencing. The study contrasted the genetic data of over 85,000 people […]
Osteoporosis is generally something that occurs much later in life, following decades of use and abuse. However, for some, bone loss begins quietly and much earlier than expected, with no obvious warning signs. A recent study, the HOST Study, studied only individuals who have HIV and bone health. What the researchers found was concerning. More […]
When someone has knee pain, shoulder tightness, or a swollen joint, the first step is usually an X-ray. But that often leads to a dead end. The pain is real – but the X-ray looks normal. So what now? A recent study from a pain clinic showed how musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSK US) helped physicians do […]
Most people wouldn’t expect a body composition scan to say much about cancer recovery. But new research shows that DEXA scans—usually used to look at bone health and body fat – can also help predict how patients respond to stem cell transplants. A recent study looked at patients with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that […]

You might feel stronger. Your clothes might fit differently. But when you look at the scale, the number hasn’t moved. So – has anything really changed? A group of researchers recently asked the same thing. They ran a clinical trial on a group of active women who followed a Pilates program for 8 weeks. Some […]
When people want to know how healthy they are, many start with a scale. But your weight alone doesn’t tell the full story. Two people can weigh the same but have very different body compositions. That’s why more healthcare providers and researchers are turning to DEXA scans—a method that shows how much of your body […]

A DEXA (DXA) scan is a type of imaging test that measures bone density, which helps to determine a person’s risk for osteoporosis and other bone-related conditions.
The test uses a small amount of X-ray radiation to take detailed images of the bones in the body, typically the hip and spine.

Ultrasound is a diagnostic procedure used to get clear pictures of internal body structures and diagnose abnormalities. It is a painless procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to get the images of the internal body organs.
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound is a special type of ultrasound that allows seeing the joints, muscles, tendons, nerves, and blood vessels in the vicinity of joints.
It helps to diagnose muscle sprains, muscle tears, arthritis, nerve issues, and other conditions related to the musculoskeletal system.
