Sailing sets the rhythm in Annapolis, from the boats crowding Spa Creek and the Severn River to the midshipmen of the U.S. Naval Academy running the seawall. Maryland's capital city sits in Anne Arundel County with a compact colonial-era downtown, the campus of St. John's College, and a healthcare anchor in Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center on Medical Parkway. Both of the city's published DEXA options are clinical imaging sites: Advanced Radiology - Annapolis Imaging at 116 Defense Hwy on the west side of town, and Luminis Health Imaging in the Belcher Pavilion at 2000 Medical Parkway on the medical center campus. That clinical depth suits a city where fitness is often a job requirement, Navy fitness standards for the Academy and a heavy concentration of active-duty and retired military households across the county. Whether the goal is meeting a body-composition standard, staying strong enough to grind a winch through another race season, or screening for bone loss, DEXA provides the measured answer.

Who Gets DEXA Scans in Annapolis
Military Members, Midshipmen & Veterans
With the U.S. Naval Academy in the heart of the city and military households throughout Anne Arundel County, Annapolis has a large population held to body-composition standards. DEXA provides the definitive measurement of total and regional body fat.
Sailors, Rowers & Watermen
Racing crews on the Severn River and Spa Creek know that grinding, hiking out, and hauling sails are strength sports. DEXA quantifies the lean muscle those hours on the water build and preserve, arm by arm and leg by leg.
Adults Screening for Osteoporosis
Patients referred through Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center can get bone densitometry at the Belcher Pavilion imaging site at 2000 Medical Parkway, using DEXA T-scores to catch osteopenia before it progresses.

Frequently Asked Questions - Annapolis DEXA Scans
Where can I get a DEXA scan in Annapolis, MD?
Advanced Radiology - Annapolis Imaging, at 116 Defense Hwy in Annapolis, MD, runs DEXA scans for the Annapolis area. Call (888) 972-9700 or book through Dexascans.com to schedule your appointment.
How much does a DEXA scan cost in Annapolis?
Expect a cash-pay range of roughly $99–$250 in Annapolis — 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 Annapolis?
Body composition scans in Annapolis 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 Annapolis, Maryland?
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 Anne Arundel County health system like Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center, 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 Annapolis?
Yes, and safe enough to repeat, which is why Annapolis 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 Annapolis?
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 Advanced Radiology - Annapolis Imaging, one report.
How long does a DEXA scan appointment take in Annapolis?
Around half an hour door to door at Advanced Radiology - Annapolis Imaging, 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 Annapolis listings above. One test, one machine.
