Tucson's scanners concentrate where its growth did, the Northwest Side. Around the La Cholla and Orange Grove intersection in Casas Adobes, Assured Imaging and Northwest Medical Center share a hospital campus while SimonMed scans a mile west on Orange Grove Road. The other two published clinics serve older Tucson: SARA on East River Road at the foot of the Catalina Foothills, and Radiology Ltd. on North Wilmot Road near the Eastside's Carondelet St. Joseph's Hospital. Between Mount Lemmon rides, the 131-mile Chuck Huckelberry Loop, and a University of Arizona campus that anchors Banner's academic medicine in Pima County, this is a town with no shortage of reasons to know its bone density.

Who Gets a DEXA Scan in Tucson?

Cyclists & Loop Athletes

Riders training for El Tour de Tucson or grinding up the Mount Lemmon highway, and runners logging Chuck Huckelberry Loop miles, use DEXA to confirm race weight, watch lean mass through big training blocks, and monitor bone density, a genuine concern for cyclists who log far more saddle time than impact.

University of Arizona Students & Researchers

The UA campus community treats measurement seriously, and DEXA is the reference method behind most body composition research. Students, staff, and faculty use Tucson's published clinics to get the same class of data their own labs cite.

Foothills & Oro Valley Adults Screening Bone Health

Pima County's large retiree population uses DEXA T-scores, often in coordination with Banner - University Medical Center Tucson physicians, to screen for osteoporosis and track treatment response with the clinical standard.

Frequently Asked Questions - Tucson DEXA Scans

Assured Imaging Women's Wellness-TA, at 6261 N. La Cholla Blvd., Suite 151 in Tucson, AZ, runs DEXA scans for the Tucson area. Call (888) 233-6121 or book through Dexascans.com to schedule your appointment.

How much does a DEXA scan cost in Tucson?

Expect a cash-pay range of roughly $99–$250 in Tucson — the price depends on the clinic and the scan type, since each provider prices independently. Confirm the number with the clinic when you book; most accept HSA and FSA cards.

Do I need a referral for a DEXA scan in Tucson?

Body composition scans in Tucson are open booking: no doctor, no paperwork. The referral question only comes up for a bone density study you want billed to insurance, and paying cash for that one skips it too.

Does insurance cover DEXA scans in Tucson, Arizona?

Often, yes, but only for bone density. If a physician orders the scan as medically necessary, say after a referral from a doctor at a Pima County health system like Banner - University Medical Center Tucson, insurance usually covers it. Body composition scans booked for fitness reasons are self-pay. HSA and FSA cards work for both.

Which Tucson ZIP codes are in the service area?

The Tucson service area (520 area) covers 4 ZIP codes, among them 85704, 85711, 85718, 85741. The full list is on this page above the FAQ, with the ZIPs that have a clinic sitting in them highlighted.

Is a DEXA scan safe in Tucson?

Yes, and safe enough to repeat, which is why Tucson clients rescan every few months to track progress. The dose is about one-tenth of a chest X-ray, under a normal day of background exposure. It is an open table, not an enclosed tube, and you stay fully clothed.

What does a full body DEXA scan measure in Tucson?

Four things a scale cannot: body fat percentage overall and by region, lean muscle mass in each limb and your trunk, the visceral fat around your organs, and your bone mineral density. One pass at Assured Imaging Women's Wellness-TA, one report.

How long does a DEXA scan appointment take in Tucson?

Around half an hour door to door at Assured Imaging Women's Wellness-TA, of which 10-15 minutes is table time. The full report lands in your inbox within 24 hours.

What is the difference between a DXA scan and a DEXA scan?

They are the same thing. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry abbreviates to DXA in clinical notes and to DEXA in everyday use — including on the Tucson listings above. One test, one machine.
