This page lists two independent Lakeland clinics, both run by Radiology & Imaging Specialists: one at 130 Pablo Street near Downtown, the other at 2120 Lakeland Hills Blvd on the north side. Hours and scheduling are the clinics' own; each listing has contact details so central Polk County residents — and I-4 commuters from Tampa and Orlando — can book body composition, bone density, or visceral fat testing directly. No referral required. How much does a DEXA scan cost in Lakeland? Prices are set by each clinic, not by Dexascans.com — cash-pay DEXA in the Lakeland area typically runs $99–$250 depending on scan type, significantly less than typical Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center imaging rates. Many clinics accept HSA/FSA; confirm the exact figure when you book. What makes Lakeland a strong DEXA scan market in central Florida? Lakeland's robust cycling culture (Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway access and Lake Mirror Park routes), competitive running scene, Florida Southern College athletics, and a large active professional population between Tampa and Orlando drive strong demand for clinical body composition data. The listings on this page close the gap for Polk County residents who otherwise commute to Tampa or Orlando for quality wellness services. Do I need a referral for a DEXA scan in Lakeland? No referral needed. Unlike Lakeland Regional Health imaging departments, self-referral is routine for body composition and wellness DEXA scans at the listed clinics — Florida Southern College athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and professionals from throughout Polk County book directly. Physician referrals from Lakeland and Polk County providers work as well. Is a DEXA scan safe in Lakeland? Yes. DEXA uses very low-dose X-ray radiation, far less than a standard chest X-ray. Painless, non-invasive, 10-15 minutes. Safe for regular monitoring by Lakeland cyclists, runners, FSC athletes, and Polk County health professionals tracking body composition over time. How long does a DEXA scan take in Lakeland? About 30 minutes total, with the actual scan taking 10-15 minutes, perfect for Lakeland's I-4 corridor commuters, easily fits into a lunch break from Downtown Lakeland offices or a post-gym session near South Lakeland's fitness studios. Does insurance cover DEXA scans in Lakeland, Florida? Many plans cover bone density DEXA scans when medically necessary. Payment policies are each clinic's own — most accept HSA/FSA cards; ask when booking. Florida Blue, Aetna, and Cigna plans in Polk County often include bone density screening for eligible Lakeland patients. Cash-pay rates are set by the clinic, typically $99–$250. What does a full body DEXA scan measure in Lakeland? A full body DEXA at either clinic listed for Lakeland measures total and regional body fat percentage, lean muscle mass by body segment, visceral fat levels, and bone mineral density. For Lakeland cyclists, Florida Southern College athletes, CrossFit competitors, and health-focused Polk County professionals, this clinical precision enables smarter training and nutrition decisions. How does DEXA compare to InBody at Lakeland gyms? Lakeland gyms and fitness centers offer InBody BIA scans, but DEXA is the clinical gold standard. InBody uses bioelectrical impedance with ±5-8% hydration-dependent variance. DEXA uses X-ray for direct tissue measurement at ±1-2% precision regardless of hydration or time of day, critical for accurate tracking across training cycles. Can I get same-day DEXA results in Lakeland? Turnaround varies by clinic — most deliver comprehensive results within 24 hours via email, including body fat percentage, lean muscle by region, visceral fat score, and bone density T-scores with interpretation. Ask about timing when you book. Immediately valuable for Lakeland athletes and Polk County health professionals monitoring body composition goals through Florida's year-round training seasons. ## 2 DEXA Scan Locations in Lakeland Imaging and body-composition facilities across the Lakeland metro.
