Dexa Operator Course!

Notes for the half day course... Really complicated stuff this radiation... =x

Mr Jonathan Thwaites... Radiation expert... And environmental sustainability warrior... Funny guy who peppered his presentation with jokes... Without which I would have fallen asleep...

X-ray tubes... The nasty little things that produces x-ray in x-ray machines...

So... What's DEXA? Without getting into details... DEXA scanning can be used to give body composition datas... A typical DEXA scan would break body composition into the '3 model' body composition... Bone mineral content (BMC), lean body mass and fat... The above is my read out... I'm not fat... =x
