DEXA Scans in Spokane, WA

Spokane's DEXA access runs through Inland Imaging, with two verified sites: the South Cowley Center at 525 S. Cowley St. in the lower South Hill medical district near Providence Sacred Heart, and Inland Imaging at Providence Medical Park, 16528 E. Desmet Ct., Suite A1300 in neighboring Spokane Valley off I-90. Both schedule at (509) 455-4455, or text/call (786) 420-6630 and we'll coordinate it.

Booked through Dexascans.com, comprehensive body composition starts at $149, bone density testing is $199, and the full package — body composition, bone density, and visceral fat — is $249. HSA/FSA cards are accepted, and these flat self-pay rates are typically well below hospital imaging department billing in the Inland Northwest.

Body composition scans book directly — no referral needed. Bone density billed to insurance generally requires a physician's order, the same one doctors at Providence Sacred Heart or MultiCare Deaconess write for osteoporosis screening. If you'd rather self-pay $199 for bone density, no referral is required.

For bone density, usually yes when medically necessary — postmenopausal screening and medication monitoring are the classic covered cases, and Medicare covers screening DXA on its standard schedule. Body composition is self-pay from $149. HSA and FSA funds apply to both, which softens the out-of-pocket cost.

Yes — the dose is about one-tenth of a chest X-ray, less than a normal day of background exposure. You lie on an open table, fully clothed, for a 10-15 minute pass of the scanner arm. No tunnel, no injection, no downtime; you could scan in the morning and run the Centennial Trail at lunch.

Everything a training log or a bone-health workup needs: total and regional body fat percentage, lean muscle by limb and trunk, visceral fat, and bone mineral density. One scan, one report, delivered within 24 hours — the same measurement class the region's hospital systems use clinically.

Roughly half an hour including check-in; table time is 10-15 minutes. The South Cowley Center is minutes from downtown at the base of the South Hill, and the Providence Medical Park site is right off I-90 for the Valley — either fits inside a lunch break.

Yes, by a wide margin. Bioimpedance estimates swing 5-8% with hydration, food, and training timing; DEXA measures tissue directly with low-dose X-ray at about ±1-2%. It also reports visceral fat and bone density — two numbers no gym impedance scale can produce — which is why it's the research reference method.

Yes. Inland Imaging operates at Providence Medical Park in Spokane Valley — 16528 E. Desmet Ct., just off the I-90 Sullivan Road corridor — so Valley residents don't need to drive downtown. It books through the same Inland Imaging scheduling line, (509) 455-4455, or text Dexascans.com at (786) 420-6630.

Because Spokane's calendar demands year-round training: the Lilac Bloomsday Run puts tens of thousands of runners on the course each May, and Hoopfest turns 45 downtown blocks into the world's largest 3-on-3 tournament each June. DEXA scans before and after a training block show exactly what changed — lean mass, fat mass, bone density — so Hooptown USA athletes can train on evidence.
