By focus
Women's Health DEXA
A single DEXA scan captures both sides of women’s health that a scale misses: bone density, which can change quickly around menopause, and body composition: fat, lean muscle, and visceral fat. An objective baseline in Wayne, PA for $250, no referral needed.
Menopause and bone loss
Bone health is a central part of women’s health because bone loss can accelerate around and after menopause. The change is usually silent (there are rarely symptoms until a fracture), so measuring bone density is often the only way to see it early, when there is the most opportunity to respond.
A DEXA scan measures bone density directly and, in the same appointment, reports your body composition: fat, lean muscle, and an estimate of visceral fat. That combination gives a fuller picture than weight or BMI alone, and a baseline you can track over time.
Wayne DEXA provides the measurement; interpreting it and deciding on any next steps is for you and your own physician. Our bone density testing page covers the scan in more depth.
A baseline you can build on
Whether your focus is bone health, body composition, or both, an objective baseline is a calm place to start. There’s no preparation, no judgment, and no agenda, just clear information about where you are today.
Because the scan is direct-access and flat-priced at $250, it’s simple to establish a baseline and revisit it over time. Your report is easy to share with the physicians already involved in your care.

Common questions
Why is bone health especially relevant for women?
Bone loss can accelerate around and after menopause, which is why bone density is a common focus of women's health. A DEXA scan measures it directly and can reveal early changes before symptoms appear.
What does the scan measure for women?
A single DEXA scan reports bone density along with body fat, lean muscle mass, and an estimate of visceral fat, a broad picture of both bone and body composition in one appointment.
Is there any reason not to have a scan?
As a precaution, scans aren't performed during pregnancy. If you are or might be pregnant, please reschedule. Otherwise the dose is very low: a scan on our GE Lunar Prodigy delivers an effective dose of roughly 1 to 5 µSv, about the same as 3 to 15 hours of ordinary background radiation, and a small fraction of a chest X-ray or a transatlantic flight.
When should women consider a baseline scan?
Timing depends on your age, menopausal status, and risk factors, and is best decided with your physician.
Do I need a referral, and what does it cost?
No referral is needed. A complete DEXA scan is $250, flat and cash-pay.
A complete DEXA scan is $250, flat. No referral or insurance needed.
