Slidell sits on the northeast shore of Lake Pontchartrain in St. Tammany Parish, a north-shore city defined by its commuter rhythm across the I-10 Twin Span Bridge to New Orleans and its own recovery identity after Hurricane Katrina. Its Gause Boulevard corridor (US 190) is the main medical and retail spine of the city, anchoring everything from Fremaux Town Center to the imaging offices near Slidell Memorial Hospital. On that corridor you will find Capitol Imaging Services - Slidell at 1310 Gause Blvd, a diagnostic radiology and imaging center that performs physician-ordered, insurance-billable bone-density (DXA) scans. It is a diagnostic center rather than a fitness or body-composition lab, so a diagnostic bone-density study there is ordered by your doctor and billed to insurance. Through Dexascans.com you can also book a straightforward self-pay DEXA scan with no referral required for body composition. Whether you commute west over the twin spans to Michoud, east across the Pearl River to Stennis Space Center, or work locally from Olde Towne to Eden Isles, a DEXA scan gives you precise, doctor-grade numbers on bone density and body composition close to home.

Who Benefits From a DEXA Scan in Slidell

Do I need a doctor's referral for a bone density test on Gause Boulevard?
For an insurance-billed diagnostic bone-density DXA at Capitol Imaging Services - Slidell on Gause Boulevard, you need a physician's order. That is how a diagnostic imaging center works. A self-pay body-composition DEXA booked through Dexascans.com requires no referral at all.
Is Capitol Imaging Services - Slidell a body-composition lab?
No, to be honest, Capitol Imaging Services - Slidell is a diagnostic radiology and imaging center, not a fitness or body-composition studio. Its DXA service is physician-ordered diagnostic bone-density imaging that is billable to insurance. If you specifically want a self-pay body-composition DEXA, book that through Dexascans.com.
Does Medicare cover a DEXA scan in Slidell?
Yes. Medicare covers screening DXA bone-density scans for qualifying patients, which is helpful for St. Tammany Parish's many older adults and retirees. A physician-ordered diagnostic bone-density scan at Capitol Imaging Services - Slidell can be billed accordingly. Self-pay body-composition scans through Dexascans.com are a separate, out-of-pocket option.
How long does a DEXA scan take, and when will I get results?
The scan itself takes about 10 to 15 minutes, with roughly 30 minutes total once you factor in check-in. Results are typically available within 24 hours. It is a quick stop whether you are coming from Olde Towne, Eden Isles, or off the twin spans on your way home to Slidell.
Is a DEXA scan safe? How much radiation is involved?
A DEXA scan uses a very low dose of radiation, roughly one-tenth of a standard chest X-ray. It is one of the safest and most precise imaging tests available, which is why it is the clinical standard for measuring bone density and body composition.
Why choose a DEXA scan over an InBody or BIA scale in Slidell?
DEXA is the benchmark for body composition, accurate to within about 1 to 2 percent, while handheld BIA and InBody devices typically run 5 to 8 percent off. If you want doctor-grade numbers on body fat, muscle, and bone rather than an estimate, a DEXA scan is worth the trip to the Gause corridor.
