What are the advantages of Ultrasound testing over other methods?The Ultrasound System has been found to be more accurate than skin fold calipers and Bio-electrical impedance devices (such as electronic scales). Skin fold calipers require exten-sive user skill, and BIA devices are sensitive to hydration, caffeine intake and exercise levels. Ultrasound technology is easy to use, non-invasive, and the measurements are not affected by any of the above factors, therefore providing consistent results.

Compared to Skinfold Calipers and Bathroom/ electronic scales: • Calipers measure Skin folds, NOT Fat thickness. Skin fold thickness measurements can be 1.5 – 3 times the true fat thickness. • Unfortunately the scale only gives us half the story. It tells us how much weight is be-ing measured but it does not tell us our health, body composition or progress in that single number.

How does it work? Ultrasound may sound intimidating, but if you’ve ever heard an echo you’re a long way to understanding how this technology measures accurate fat-tissue thickness. Ultrasound waves travel in tissue and then record strong reflections that occur at the boundary of different tissue types, for example, fat-muscle and muscle-bone.
