DEXA Scans in Layton, UT

Layton has two published providers. Health InSight at 1558 N Woodland Park Dr, Suite 420 — on the commercial strip north of Layton Hills Mall — handles DEXA body composition. Intermountain Health Layton Hospital at 201 W Layton Pkwy offers bone density DEXA through its imaging and radiology department. Book body composition scans by calling or texting (786) 420-6630 through Dexascans.com.

It depends on the question you are asking. For fitness, weight loss, muscle, and visceral fat tracking, book body composition at Health InSight near Layton Hills Mall. For osteoporosis screening or a physician-ordered bone density test — especially if your care already runs through Intermountain — the imaging department at Intermountain Health Layton Hospital keeps results inside your medical record.

Through Dexascans.com, body composition runs $149, bone density $199, and the complete package with visceral fat analysis $249, with HSA and FSA cards accepted. Hospital-based bone density at Intermountain Health Layton Hospital is typically billed through insurance with a physician's order; cash marketplaces list it around the mid-$300s nationally, so the package price compares well for self-pay.

For body composition at Health InSight, no — it is a self-booked wellness service. For bone density at Intermountain Health Layton Hospital, imaging is generally performed with a physician's order, which also unlocks insurance coverage; orders can come from any Layton-area provider, not just Intermountain doctors.

Bone density DXA is often covered when a physician documents medical necessity, and Medicare covers screening DXA for qualifying patients — typically women 65+ and others with risk factors. Body composition scanning is self-pay wellness and not billed to insurance, though HSA and FSA funds apply at Health InSight.

Yes — the dose is about one-tenth of a chest X-ray, less than a single day of the natural background radiation you absorb living on the Wasatch Front. It is low enough that repeat scans every few months to track a training or weight-loss program are considered routine.

Four things: bone mineral density at the hip and spine, lean muscle mass broken out by body region, true body fat percentage, and visceral fat around the organs. A scale gives one number that mixes all of it together; DEXA at either Layton provider separates the tissue types with clinical accuracy.

Budget about 30 minutes door to door, with 10-15 minutes of actual table time — you lie flat and still while the scanner arm passes over. Body composition results booked through Dexascans.com arrive within 24 hours; hospital bone density results go to your ordering physician and the Intermountain patient portal.

Very close. Health InSight sits on Woodland Park Drive in the Layton Hills Mall district, a few minutes off I-15 on the Layton side of the base boundary — an easy stop after work via the Hill Field Road or Antelope Drive exits. Intermountain Health Layton Hospital, for bone density, is a few exits south at Layton Parkway.

InBody and similar BIA devices estimate composition from an electrical current, and results swing 5-8 percent with hydration — noticeable in Utah's dry climate, where sweat losses on an Adams Canyon run can skew a same-day reading. DEXA images tissue directly, repeats within 1-2 percent, and adds bone density, which no impedance device measures.
