Frequently Asked Questions - Lufkin DEXA Scans
Where can I get a DEXA scan in Lufkin, TX?
Lufkin's verified provider is Kurth Imaging Center — St. Luke's Health Memorial Lufkin's outpatient imaging center — at 1105 W. Frank Ave., Suite 100 on the West Frank Avenue medical corridor, an easy pull off Loop 287. Text or call Dexascans.com at (786) 420-6630 to book.
What will a DEXA scan cost me in Lufkin?
Booked through Dexascans.com: $149 for body composition, $199 for a bone density test, or $249 for the complete package with body comp, bone density, and visceral fat. You can pay with HSA or FSA funds.
Is a doctor's referral required to book a DEXA in Lufkin?
Body composition scans are wellness services — no referral, just book it. A physician's order comes into play when you want a bone density test covered by insurance as a medical screening.
Will Medicare or my insurance cover bone density testing in Lufkin?
Medicare covers screening DXA for qualifying patients, and private plans commonly pay when a physician's order documents medical necessity. Body composition stays self-pay at the $149 Dexascans.com rate.
Is a DEXA scan safe for someone who gets X-rays regularly?
Yes — one DEXA delivers roughly a tenth of a chest X-ray's dose, less radiation than a normal day outdoors in East Texas. It adds almost nothing to your annual exposure even with repeat scans.
What does a DEXA scan tell you, exactly?
It measures bone mineral density for osteoporosis screening, lean muscle mass by body region, and total plus visceral fat. One scan, three clinical-grade datasets — that's why it's the reference standard.
How long is the appointment, and when do Lufkin results arrive?
Plan on 10-15 minutes of table time inside a roughly 30-minute visit. Results come back within 24 hours, faster than most lab work.
What makes DEXA better than a gym body-fat analyzer?
Handheld and standing bioimpedance units swing 5-8 percent depending on hydration — that's the difference between 'lean' and 'needs work' from the same body. DEXA measures tissue directly within 1-2 percent and reports bone and visceral fat besides.
Is the Lufkin imaging center easy to reach from Crown Colony?
Yes — Loop 287 circles the city, so from Crown Colony you're about ten minutes from the West Frank Avenue corridor where Kurth Imaging Center sits. Parking at the outpatient campus is simpler than at a big-city imaging center.
Who around Lufkin should consider a DEXA scan first?
Longtime mill and plant workers wanting a read on bone and muscle after decades of physical work, retirees who've never had a bone density baseline, and Panther-country athletes tracking offseason gains. If you drive into Lufkin for your other healthcare, this fits the same trip.

The Lufkin Locals a DEXA Scan Serves Best
Timber and Plant Workers
Generations of Lufkin men and women have worked the mills, plants, and heavy manufacturing that built this town, and those jobs are hard on a body over 30 years. DEXA puts real numbers on muscle mass and bone strength, so you can see what the work has cost — and what training or treatment is giving back.
East Texas Retirees
Angelina County retirees often wait for a broken hip to learn they have osteoporosis, when a painless 15-minute scan could have flagged it years earlier. Bone density testing is $199 through Dexascans.com, and Medicare covers screening DXA with a physician's order.
Panther Country Athletes and Their Parents
In a town that fills Abe Martin Stadium on Friday nights, plenty of athletes and weekend lifters train seriously year-round. DEXA shows lean mass gains region by region at ±1-2 percent accuracy — proof the offseason program is actually working.
