DEXA Scans in Southlake, TX

Two Southlake locations offer DEXA: Envision Imaging at Southlake, 525 E. Southlake Blvd. (on the FM 1709 corridor a short drive west of Southlake Town Square, (817) 424-5872) and Better Faster Urgent Care, 630 N Kimball Ave, Suite 100, near the SH 114 interchange, (817) 421-8777. Call the clinic directly, or text/call Dexascans.com at (786) 420-6630 and we'll match you with the right scanner and appointment time.

Booked through Dexascans.com, a comprehensive body composition DEXA starts at $149. Bone density testing runs $199, and the complete health package (body composition, bone density, and visceral fat assessment) is $249. HSA and FSA cards are accepted, and these self-pay rates typically come in well under what hospital imaging departments charge for a comparable scan.

Not for body composition, book that directly, no physician involved. Bone density is different only when insurance enters the picture: plans generally require an order from your doctor, such as one affiliated with Texas Health or Methodist Southlake Medical Center, before covering an osteoporosis screening. Paying out of pocket for bone density? No referral needed there either.

For bone density, often yes, when a physician documents medical necessity, most plans cover osteoporosis screening. Body composition scans are wellness services, so they're almost always self-pay; the upside is transparent pricing from $149 and HSA/FSA eligibility. Bring your insurance details when you book and we'll tell you which path applies to your scan.

Yes. The X-ray dose is extremely low, roughly one-tenth of a chest X-ray, comparable to a few hours of natural background radiation. Nothing touches you, nothing is injected, and you simply lie still on an open table for 10-15 minutes. That low dose is why athletes safely repeat DEXA scans several times a year.

Four things in one pass: total body fat percentage, lean muscle mass broken out by arms, legs, and trunk, visceral fat around the organs, and bone mineral density. For a Dragons lineman adding offseason muscle or a Timarron resident tracking a recomposition goal, it's a complete structural snapshot from a single scan.

Block out about half an hour. Check-in is quick, the scan itself runs 10-15 minutes, and there's no recovery time. You can head straight back to the office or the school pickup line. Your full report, including charts and T-scores where applicable, arrives within 24 hours.

Considerably. InBody and similar BIA devices estimate composition from an electrical signal, and their readings can swing 5-8% with hydration, food, and workout timing. DEXA images tissue directly with X-ray and holds accuracy to about ±1-2% regardless of what you ate or how hard you trained that morning. It's the reference method BIA devices are graded against.

Yes, Envision Imaging at Southlake is at 525 E. Southlake Blvd., on the same boulevard as Town Square and only a short drive west of the district. Better Faster Urgent Care on N Kimball Ave is the alternative on the east side of the city, near SH 114 and the Grapevine line.

Because this city competes. Carroll ISD athletes preparing for the next season, cyclists and trail runners heading for Bob Jones Park and Grapevine Lake's North Shore Trail, and golfers working on rotational strength all use DEXA to verify that training changed the right tissue (muscle up, fat down, bones strong) instead of guessing from body weight.
