DEXA Scan Deep Dive, With Insights From the Experts (2025)

wired.com Boutayna Chokrane 2025-09-25 06:30:00

Earlier this summer, I found myself lying flat on a padded table in Tucson, Arizona. A mechanical arm hovered above me, scanning my body from head to toe while I tried to remain still. Fifteen-ish minutes later, a clinician handed me a thick packet of results, which included details on bone density, lean muscle mass, body fat percentage, and color-coded visuals showing exactly where each of these metrics was located within my body. This was a DEXA scan, short for dual-energy x-ray absorptiometr

What It's Like to Work at a Body Farm

Somewhere out in the countryside, hidden behind a copse of trees, are fields full of dead human bodies. These corpses have been strategically laid out in rows, naked as the day they were born, and left to the mercy of the elements until all that’s left of them are bones. It sounds like a scene out of a horror film, but these places are real. They’re called taphonomic research facilities, or sometimes “body farms”—sites where forensic scientists study how the human body decomposes. (Don’t worry,

Was Jesus Really Wrapped in the Shroud of Turin? 3D Study Says Probably Not

An ingenious new approach using 3D scans is now adding further credence to the suggestion that Jesus’s body—or any body for that matter—never touched this famous fabric. Cicero Moraes, a
