DEXA Scans in Rochester, New York

The 2 clinics listed further down this page run that scan for Rochester, covering 2 ZIP codes 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.

Rochester grew up around the Genesee River and its High Falls, and the water still organizes how the city moves: runners follow the riverside paths, cyclists ride the Erie Canal towpath toward Pittsford, and the Cobbs Hill Reservoir loop fills with joggers on summer evenings. The city seats Monroe County and carries a deep measurement heritage, from Kodak's optics legacy to the research hospitals of the University of Rochester Medical Center. The listings on this page show each published DEXA location's address and contact details. From Park Avenue and the South Wedge to Highland Park, home of the Lilac Festival each May, Rochesterians can walk out of a scan with numbers a bathroom scale will never produce.

Who Gets a DEXA Scan in Rochester

Canal Path and Reservoir Runners

Athletes who train on the Erie Canal towpath, the Genesee Riverway, and the Cobbs Hill loop use DEXA to separate real fat loss from water weight and to verify that strength work is adding measurable lean mass.

University of Rochester and RIT Communities

Students, researchers, and staff from both campuses treat data seriously, and a validated DEXA body composition baseline gives them numbers worth tracking from one semester to the next.

Monroe County Adults Screening for Osteoporosis

Patients referred by physicians affiliated with URMC's Strong Memorial Hospital or Rochester Regional Health use DEXA T-scores as the diagnostic standard for bone density, especially through icy Rochester winters when fall risk climbs.

Frequently Asked Questions - Rochester DEXA Scans

Where can I get a DEXA scan in Rochester, NY?

Borg & Ide Imaging - Culver Park, at 2619 Culver Road in Rochester, NY, runs DEXA scans for the Rochester area. Call (585) 241-6401 to schedule your appointment.

How much does a DEXA scan cost in Rochester?

There is no single Rochester 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 Rochester?

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 Rochester, but ask when you book, since some hospital departments require one.

Does insurance cover DEXA scans in Rochester, 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 Monroe County like University of Rochester Medical Center & Rochester Regional Health, 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 Rochester?

Yes. Nothing is injected and nothing encloses you: at Borg & Ide Imaging - Culver Park 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 Rochester?

Where a Rochester 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 University of Rochester Medical Center & Rochester Regional Health physician would order on its own.

How long does a DEXA scan appointment take in Rochester?

Plan on 30 minutes in Rochester — check-in, then 10-15 minutes on the table at Borg & Ide Imaging - Culver Park. 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 University of Rochester Medical Center & Rochester Regional Health use; "DEXA" is the one patients search for. Both name dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and both describe what you would book in Rochester.
