I had a DEXA scan done when I was an athlete in college. It gives you body fat percentages and bone densities in each part of your body & it’s extremely accurate. I don’t have a scanner or I’d post it up, its really impressive stuff. It’s pretty rare to find a doctor that has one though. On the bright side, my TAMORA body fat scale must be pretty accurate, as it said I had almost the same bf% as that machine lol.

this isn’t mine, but this is one I found on the web. It breaks it down to show you how much each of your limbs/etc weigh, how much of that weight is bone and how much is fat in grams and as a percent. It’s ridiculous lol
