Notes from the lab.
Explanations of what the numbers mean, guides for making decisions from them, and news from the Jenkintown location — open houses, hours, and what we're adding.
How often should you actually rescan?
Six weeks after your baseline, almost nothing you see will be real. Here's what the precision error means in practice, why bone and muscle move on different clocks, and how to pick an interval you won't regret paying for.
Read the guideT-scores, Z-scores, and percentiles: which one your doctor wants

How much of rapid weight loss tends to come from lean tissue, the two interventions with the best evidence behind them, and when to scan.

New guides, occasional lab news, and a nudge when it's time to think about a follow-up scan. No promotions you didn't ask for.
