Through Dexascans.com, body composition DEXA is $149, a bone density test is $199, and the complete package — body composition plus bone density and visceral fat — is $249. No hidden fees, and HSA/FSA cards are accepted. That's typically well under what hospital imaging departments around the Perimeter charge for comparable scans.

A single ten-minute pass measures body fat percentage, lean muscle mass by region (arms, legs, trunk), bone mineral density with T-scores, and — in the complete package — visceral fat, the deep abdominal fat tied to metabolic risk. It's one clinical-grade snapshot of everything a scale, a mirror, and a gym test can only guess at.

Yes, meaningfully. InBody and other bioimpedance devices estimate composition from an electrical signal, and results can swing 5-8% with hydration — easy to do after a summer run on the Chamblee Rail Trail or a salty Buford Highway dinner the night before. DEXA measures tissue directly via low-dose X-ray, accurate to about ±1-2% regardless of what you ate or drank.

No referral is needed for a body composition scan — book directly through Dexascans.com. A physician's order comes into play only if you want a bone density scan billed to insurance for osteoporosis screening; self-pay bone density scans at the Peachtree Road studio require no paperwork at all.

Bone density DXA is often covered when a physician — for example, one affiliated with Emory Saint Joseph's or Northside Hospital just around the Perimeter — orders it as medically necessary, and Medicare covers screening bone density scans. Body composition testing is self-pay wellness, payable with HSA/FSA funds, starting at $149.

About 30 minutes door to door, with 10-15 minutes of actual table time — short enough to fit into a lunch break from a Peachtree Boulevard office or before a PDK departure. Your complete results report arrives within 24 hours.

Very little — roughly one-tenth of a chest X-ray, which is less than a normal day of natural background radiation. The scan is painless and non-invasive, and it's safe to repeat every few months to track a training block or a recomposition goal.

Yes — this is one of the most transit-friendly DEXA locations in metro Atlanta. Take MARTA's Gold Line to Chamblee station and walk over to 5553 Peachtree Road, or bike in on the Chamblee Rail Trail, which links Keswick Park to the station area. Drivers exit I-285 at Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and park in minutes.

The young professionals along Dresden Drive and near the MARTA station tracking recomposition; food lovers who work the Buford Highway corridor and want real data instead of scale anxiety; masters athletes on the Rail Trail; and adults 50+ screening bone density close to home rather than trekking to a hospital campus. Text (786) 420-6630 and we'll match the right scan to your goal.
