Local context
DEXA Scanning in Buffalo and the Northtowns
The clinic listed further down this page runs that scan for Buffalo, covering 1 ZIP code across the area. A DEXA scan measures your body fat percentage, how much lean muscle you carry in each limb, the visceral fat around your organs, and your bone mineral density. It takes about 10 minutes and you get the numbers in writing.
Buffalo has spent the last decade rebuilding its waterfront, and its fitness culture has grown with it, from runners circling Hoyt Lake in Olmsted's Delaware Park to cyclists on the Canalside and Outer Harbor paths along Lake Erie. The city anchors Erie County and a metro that stretches through Amherst and Williamsville to the University at Buffalo's North Campus, with the 33 and the 290 linking the city proper to the Northtowns. The DEXA listings on this page show each clinic's address and contact details. With the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus concentrating clinical care downtown and the Buffalo Marathon bringing thousands through the streets each May, this is a city that takes measurement seriously. DEXA extends that standard to body composition and bone health.

Who books one
Who Books a DEXA Scan in Buffalo
Delaware Park and Waterfront Runners
Regulars on the Ring Road, the Shoreline Trail, and the Buffalo Marathon course use DEXA to confirm that winter training on the treadmill and summer miles outdoors are building lean mass, not just moving a scale number.
University at Buffalo Students and Staff
UB's North Campus brings students, faculty, and club athletes to the Amherst side of the metro. DEXA gives them research-grade body composition data, and the listings on this page show where to get it.
Western New Yorkers Screening Bone Density
Adults referred for osteoporosis screening, often through physicians affiliated with Kaleida Health or Erie County Medical Center, use DEXA T-scores to establish a baseline and track bone health through Buffalo's long, icy winters, when fracture risk matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions - Buffalo DEXA Scans
Where can I get a DEXA scan in Buffalo, NY?
Southtowns Radiology - Buffalo, at 3050 Orchard Park Rd in Buffalo, NY, runs DEXA scans for the Buffalo area. Call 716-558-5400 to schedule your appointment.
How much does a DEXA scan cost in Buffalo?
There is no single Buffalo price: clinics publish their own rates, and cash-pay DEXA scans generally land between $99 and $250 by scan type. That still usually undercuts the $300-plus hospital imaging departments bill for comparable scans. Ask the clinic for its current rate when scheduling — HSA/FSA funds work at most.
Do I need a referral for a DEXA scan in Buffalo?
Mostly when you want insurance to pay: an insurance-billed bone density exam needs your physician to order it first. Self-pay scans usually need no referral in Buffalo, but ask when you book, since some hospital departments require one.
Does insurance cover DEXA scans in Buffalo, New York?
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 health system in Erie County like Kaleida Health & Erie County 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 Buffalo?
Yes. Nothing is injected and nothing encloses you: at Southtowns Radiology - Buffalo you lie on an open table for 10-15 minutes while the scanner arm passes overhead. The X-ray dose is roughly a tenth of a chest X-ray.
What does a full body DEXA scan measure in Buffalo?
Where a Buffalo clinic offers body composition as well as bone density, one scan produces your body fat percentage, a limb-by-limb lean mass breakdown, a visceral fat reading, and bone mineral density. That combination is why a DEXA report replaces a stack of separate measurements, including the bone-density study a Kaleida Health & Erie County Medical Center physician would order on its own.
How long does a DEXA scan appointment take in Buffalo?
Plan on 30 minutes in Buffalo — check-in, then 10-15 minutes on the table at Southtowns Radiology - Buffalo. Results usually follow within a day or two.
What is the difference between a DXA scan and a DEXA scan?
No difference at all. "DXA" is the abbreviation radiology departments like Kaleida Health & Erie County Medical Center use; "DEXA" is the one patients search for. Both name dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and both describe what you would book in Buffalo.
