Newark is a college town at heart, built around the University of Delaware's Green and the shops of Main Street in western New Castle County. The city's published DEXA options come from Delaware Imaging Network, with one location north of town at 40 Polly Drummond Hill Rd and another south at 2600 Glasgow Ave, so both the university side of Newark and the fast-growing Route 40 corridor have a scanner within a short drive. ChristianaCare's Christiana Hospital, the state's largest, carries a Newark address just east of town for hospital-based care. Outdoors, the city leans on White Clay Creek State Park, whose trail network spills across the Pennsylvania line, and on the walking loop at the Newark Reservoir. Between Blue Hens athletics, a student body that fills campus gyms, and a university research culture that respects measured data, Newark is a natural fit for DEXA, the reference-grade way to track fat, muscle, and bone.

Who Relies on DEXA Scanning in Newark, DE
University of Delaware Students & Athletes
From varsity Blue Hens to club athletes and gym regulars on the UD campus, Newark's university community uses DEXA to get regional lean-mass and body-fat data that campus scales and fitness trackers only estimate.
White Clay Creek Trail Runners
Runners and hikers who train on the trail network of White Clay Creek State Park use DEXA to confirm that a season of miles translated into less visceral fat and preserved muscle, not just a lower number on the scale.
Adults Screening for Bone Loss
New Castle County residents referred for bone density testing, often through physicians affiliated with ChristianaCare's Christiana Hospital, use DEXA T-scores at the Delaware Imaging Network locations on Polly Drummond Hill Rd and Glasgow Ave as the diagnostic standard.

Frequently Asked Questions - Newark DEXA Scans
Where can I get a DEXA scan in Newark, DE?
Delaware Imaging Network, at 40 Polly Drummond Hill Rd in Newark, DE, runs DEXA scans for the Newark area. Call (877) 990-2121 or book through Dexascans.com to schedule your appointment.
How much does a DEXA scan cost in Newark?
Expect a cash-pay range of roughly $99–$250 in Newark — 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 Newark?
Body composition scans in Newark 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 Newark, Delaware?
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 New Castle County health system like ChristianaCare (Christiana Hospital), insurance usually covers it. Body composition scans booked for fitness reasons are self-pay. HSA and FSA cards work for both.
Is a DEXA scan safe in Newark?
Yes, and safe enough to repeat, which is why Newark 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 Newark?
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 Delaware Imaging Network, one report.
How long does a DEXA scan appointment take in Newark?
Around half an hour door to door at Delaware Imaging Network, 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 Newark listings above. One test, one machine.
