DEXA Scans in Statesboro, GA

Both verified options sit on Fair Road: Capitol Imaging's Outpatient Imaging - Statesboro at 1601 Fair Road, Suite 100, reachable at (912) 800-4674, and East Georgia Regional Medical Center at 1499 Fair Rd. next door. The pair covers both sides of DEXA, body composition and bone density. Text or call (786) 420-6630 and we'll set up the appointment.

Each clinic sets its own pricing; Dexascans.com doesn't standardize rates. Cash-pay DEXA in the Statesboro area typically runs $99-$250, depending on whether you want body composition, bone density, or both in one visit. HSA and FSA cards work at most clinics, and it's typically a better deal than hospital imaging department rates; confirm the price when you book.

Not for body composition. Students and residents can book that directly with no paperwork. A physician's order only comes into play if you want a bone density scan billed to insurance for osteoporosis screening; that's the same test doctors affiliated with East Georgia Regional Medical Center order routinely. Self-pay bone density scans skip the referral entirely.

Insurance usually covers bone density DEXA when a physician deems it medically necessary, common for patients referred through East Georgia Regional's network. Body composition scans for fitness or weight-management purposes are almost always self-pay, at clinic-set rates typically $99-$250, and HSA/FSA payments are accepted either way at most locations.

Yes. A DEXA scan delivers a very low X-ray dose, on the order of one-tenth of a chest X-ray, so periodic re-scans through a school year are not a radiation concern for most adults. The test is painless and takes 10-15 minutes lying on an open table.

You get total and regional body fat percentage, lean muscle mass broken out by arms, legs, and trunk, visceral fat, and bone mineral density in one pass. Whether you're a Georgia Southern student mid-recomposition or a Bulloch County retiree watching bone health, it's the complete picture in a single ten-minute scan.

The scan itself runs 10-15 minutes; with check-in, plan on about half an hour total, easy to fit between classes on the Statesboro campus or into a workday lunch break. Your full results report, including all measurements and charts, is delivered within 24 hours.

For accuracy, yes. Handheld and platform BIA devices like InBody infer body fat from electrical impedance and can drift 5-8% with hydration, a genuine issue in south Georgia heat. DEXA images tissue directly with low-dose X-ray and holds ±1-2% accuracy whether you scanned before or after practice. It's the reference method BIA devices are validated against.

Yes. Outpatient Imaging - Statesboro sits at 1601 Fair Road, about a mile down the GA-67 corridor that borders the Georgia Southern campus, next to East Georgia Regional Medical Center. That makes it one of the most campus-convenient DEXA locations in the state. Text (786) 420-6630 to book around your class schedule.

If you train with intent, yes. Club and intramural athletes at Georgia Southern, RAC regulars, and Statesboro's recreational runners use before-and-after scans to prove a training block worked: lean mass up, fat mass down, and no hidden muscle imbalances between limbs. It's objective feedback a mirror and a scale can't give you.
