Clinical Trial Research
The UK's largest network of DEXA and performance assessment facilities — supporting clinical trials, academic and commercial health studies at scale.
From single site to nationwide multi-centre studies, we deliver consistent, high-quality assessments (DEXA Bone Density, DEXA Body Composition, VO2 Max, RMR) with a seamless participant experience, whilst providing real-time study progress to Sponsors and Investigators via informative dashboards.
Why Work With BodyView?
National reach, extensive experience and standardised acquisition — all within a trusted QMS.
With multiple locations across the UK and thousands of assessments completed annually, we can support studies ranging from single studies with small cohorts through to large-scale multi-site trials.
Participants can attend their nearest facility, reducing travel burden to improve recruitment and retention. Scheduling is performed with ease using the BodyView online intelligent (protocol-defined) scheduling tool, and attendance/results (QA'd) are reported in real time via informative dashboards.
All BodyView facilities are CQC certified with equipment that is professionally maintained and daily calibrated to ensure optimal performance. Staff are highly experienced and certified with Manufacturer, Health Authority (HCPC) and industrial (GCP) training, with additional training to ensure compliance with protocol-specific imaging guidelines.
All assessments are independently QA'd at the point of acquisition to ensure consistency to the set requirements and the principle of Clinical Trial Scan Management.
Testing Capability
Testing capability designed for clinical and applied health research.
From bone health and body composition to metabolic and cardiorespiratory testing, every assessment is acquired to a standardised protocol and independently QA'd at the point of capture — giving you comparable, audit-ready data across every site and visit.
Our Quality Management System is trusted by organisations operating in performance, health and applied research environments.

- Standardised professional set-up with routine equipment maintenance, resource management and DRP fully established.
- Data governance, QA'd at the point of acquisition.
- Secure Sponsor-customised workflow systems providing accurate scheduling, quality data collection and real-time reporting.
- Professional, managed network-wide SOPs including an established and tested Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) to ensure continuity of delivery across all sites regardless of event.
Case Study
Supporting Large-Scale Participant Data Collection
Challenge: A research team required consistent physiological data from a large, geographically dispersed participant group.
Solution: BodyView delivered standardised DEXA testing across multiple UK locations, enabling efficient participant access and streamlined data collection.
Outcome: High completion rates, consistent dataset quality and smooth multi-site coordination, delivered within budget and on time.
