QUESTIONS TO TAKE WITH YOU

Check what the lean tissue number includes.

Lean tissue includes more than muscle. Preparation and the scanner’s analysis can affect a comparison, so bring the previous report if you have one.

At your appointment

  1. Were these scans performed using comparable conditions?
  2. Is this change larger than the clinic’s measurement variation?
  3. How does it fit with my strength, symptoms and training record?

A sensible next step

Discuss the report with the practitioner who performed the scan. If you have unexplained weight loss or weakness, speak with your GP.

These suggestions are general information. Your own practitioner can review the full report and your history.
