Advanced Body Composition (ABC)

You see a number on the scale, but what does it really mean? Is your diet or personal training plan working? Let us help you find out. Jupiter Medical offers an advanced body composition scan that can tell you the distribution of your fat mass, lean muscle tissue and bone mass.

It's As Easy As ABC

Scales are misleading as body weight is comprised of muscle, fat and bone all added together. An Advanced Body Composition (ABC) Scan determines your exact body composition value by measuring fat mass index which is more accurate than body mass index. There is simply no better way to evaluate metabolic and obesity related health risks.

An ABC scan provides very high-resolution images and is the only system that incorporates a whole body composition reference database of thousands of U.S. adults to allow comparison with other individuals of similar age, gender, and race. A physician prescription is required for this test.
