Lakeview Hospital has added a new state-of-the-art DEXA Scanner to its diagnostic Radiology Department offerings, available for evaluating bone health, metabolic status, and body composition. The new technology provides bone density and body composition in one fast, precise scan.
The DEXA scanner allows clinicians to detect osteoporosis risk earlier and support healthy aging with greater precision. It also measures fat, muscle, and bone mass, providing a comprehensive picture of overall health, making it valuable not only for patients monitoring bone density, but for individuals focused on fitness, weight management, and metabolic health, as well as those using GLP-1 medications for weight loss. Athletes are now using this technology to track progress and performance.
Many medically necessary DEXA exams are covered by insurance with a physician’s order. For patients seeking body composition analysis or other non-covered uses, Lakeview Hospital offers a convenient flat-rate self-pay option.
