At our center we use the Futrex 6100 body composition infrared analysis.
Futrex offers the only method of measuring body fat that uses completely safe, Near-Infrared light to directly measure percent body fat. U.S. Government research located a single point on the human body - the center of the biceps of the dominant arm (the arm used to write) - that has a direct correlation with the body's overall fat level.

During operation, the Futrex Light Wand sends a safe, Near-Infrared light beam into the biceps of the dominant arm at specific wavelengths that fat will absorb and lean mass will reflect. The light absorption is measured to determine body fat -- it's that simple!
