Course Overview
Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) traditionally has been used by physicians for diagnosing osteoporosis, assessing fracture risk, and monitoring changes in bone mineral density. This low-cost, low-radiation, and easily-accessed modality has an expanding role in: detecting abnormalities in body composition, clinical obesity, sarcopenia, and lipodystrophy [1]; determining the effects of diet, exercise, and physical training for patients attempting to lose or control weight; and tracking muscle growth and skeletal bone and fat mass to improve or enhance health and performance. [2, 3, 4] This webinar will discuss the use of DXA in patients who desire analytical information on their own body composition to improve or enhance their health and physical performance.

Educational Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to:

• List the clinical indications for ordering a DXA examination, including assessment of bone mineral density, fracture risk, sarcopenia, and lipodystrophy.
• Discuss the role of DXA in the evaluation of body composition, including measurement of bone, muscle, and fat mass.
• Utilize DXA for patients who desire analytical information on their own body composition to improve or enhance their health and physical performance.

Physician Continuing Medical Education
This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of Postgraduate Institute for Medicine and International Center for Postgraduate Medical Education.
