Body scanner machine: how a body composition scanner works

Body scanner machines range from simple scales to 3D scanners. Here is what each type measures, in plain words.

Three kinds of body scanner

TypeHow it worksTypically measures
BIA analyzerSends a small electrical signal through electrodesFat, muscle, water
3D optical scannerCameras and depth sensors build a 3D modelShape, posture, circumferences
Combined scannerBoth methods in one deviceComposition, shape and posture

What a scan shows

A body composition scanner reports muscle, fat and water. A 3D scanner adds body shape, circumferences and posture, and lets you compare scans side by side.
