Nevada's second-largest city fills the southeast corner of the Las Vegas valley, from the revitalized Water Street District downtown to the master-planned hills of Green Valley, Anthem, and Inspirada. Henderson trains outdoors most of the year, on the River Mountains Loop Trail that circles toward Lake Mead, in Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area's desert washes below the McCullough Range, and around Lake Las Vegas. The city has two published DEXA options: Desert Radiologist at 2611 W. Horizon Ridge Pkwy and SimonMed Henderson at 6301 Mountain Vista St., Suite 103, both operating DEXA as the diagnostic imaging exam it was designed to be. Hospital care is equally local, with Henderson Hospital and the St. Rose Dominican Siena campus inside the city. For a fast-growing community of retirees, young families, and desert athletes, DEXA is the clinical answer to a question the scale can't settle: what is actually changing, fat, muscle, or bone.
With published DEXA locations on Horizon Ridge Parkway and Mountain Vista Street, Henderson's neighborhoods are all a short drive from a scanner.

Riders on the River Mountains Loop Trail and hikers in Sloan Canyon train through serious heat. DEXA separates true fat loss from dehydration-driven scale swings and shows whether lean muscle is holding through the long desert season.
Anthem, Sun City communities, and Green Valley draw active adults who intend to stay that way. DEXA tracks the two numbers that decide independence, lean muscle mass and bone density, with a precise annual baseline.

Body composition scans in Henderson 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.
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 Clark County health system like Henderson Hospital & St. Rose Dominican (Siena Campus), insurance usually covers it. Body composition scans booked for fitness reasons are self-pay. HSA and FSA cards work for both.
Yes, and safe enough to repeat, which is why Henderson 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.
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 Desert Radiologist, one report.
Around half an hour door to door at Desert Radiologist, of which 10-15 minutes is table time. The full report lands in your inbox within 24 hours.
