• MRI: We provide advanced MRI services at our Germantown and Medical Center locations. Our hospital-grade MRI machines produce high-quality images, ensuring accurate diagnosis and treatment in a patient-friendly environment.
• X-Ray: We offer x-ray services at all 9 clinic locations. Our on-site imaging service allows our team to diagnose fractures, infections, and other conditions accurately, while minimizing wait times.
• DEXA Scan: Our Germantown location features a Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) scan machine, which measures bone density and provides accurate body composition data. This machine allows us diagnose bone-related health problems, assess the risk of osteoporosis and other conditions that cause bone loss, and monitor the effectiveness of osteoporosis treatment. Physical therapists, trainers and registered dietitians can also use the data provided by a DEXA scan to track body composition changes and create a custom training or recovery plan for athletes.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic imaging technology that uses a strong magnet and radiofrequency waves to produce pictures or “images” of the inside of the body. It does not use radiation. Because an MRI allows your doctor to see inside your body from any angle with great clarity, it gives doctors a wealth of information quickly and without surgery.

A Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) scan is a medical imaging test used to measure bone mineral density and body composition, including bone density, muscle mass, and body fat percentages. This advanced scan is essential for diagnosing osteoporosis, monitoring bone health, and providing detailed body composition insights for athletes and individuals managing their fitness goals.

DEXA scans are available exclusively at our Germantown clinic location, where we offer two types of scans:

DEXA Bone Density Scan: A  medical imaging test that measures bone mineral density (BMD). It is used to diagnose osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures.

Cost: Will be filed with insurance carrier.

How to Schedule: Ask your provider for a referral to a DEXA Bone Density Scan test.

Purpose: 

• To assess bone strength and detect osteoporosis
• To monitor treatment for osteoporosis
• To measure body composition (bone, fat, and muscle mass)

Procedure:

• The patient lies on a table while a scanner passes over them, emitting low-dose X-rays.
• The scanner measures how much radiation is absorbed by the bones, which indicates their density.

Who Should Get a DEXA Scan:

• Postmenopausal women
• Men over 70
• Individuals with risk factors for osteoporosis, such as family history, low body weight, or certain medical conditions

Body Composition Scan: A medical imaging test that provides detailed measurements of bone density, muscle mass, and body fat percentages. This scan is particularly beneficial for athletes aiming to optimize their performance, track their progress, or enhance recovery strategies.

Cost: Cash $150 (includes scan and a 30-minute consultation)

How to Schedule: No referral needed—simply call (901) 507-7650 to schedule.

Purpose: 

• Provides accurate body composition data including bone density, muscle mass and body fat percentages. This can allow for tracking body composition changes over time. Body composition data can also be used by a sports dietitian to more accurately estimate energy needs for athletes to ensure energy demands are being met.
• Assess bone density, helping to identify risk of osteoporosis or bone fractures, which is crucial for athletes, particularly those in high-impact sports, weight-bearing activities, or those with low energy availability. Strong bones are vital for peak performance and preventing injury.
• Provide insight into recovery and rehab for those post-injury or surgery to track if muscle mass is being lost or maintained during periods of rehabilitation.
• By monitoring changes in body composition (such as muscle mass loss), DEXA can help identify signs of overtraining, which can contribute to muscle breakdown and fatigue.
• Data from the DEXA scan can allow physical therapists, trainers and registered dietitians to provide personalized training programs and nutrition recommendations to support the athlete’s goals and performance.

Procedure:

• The patient lies on a table while a scanner passes over them, emitting low-dose X-rays.
• The scanner emits two low-dose X-Ray beams with different energy levels, which allows it to accurately determine the distribution of bone, muscle, and fat mass in the body.

Who Should Get a DEXA Body Composition Scan:

• Athletes tracking performance and progress
• Individuals recovering from injury or surgery
• Those involved in high-impact or weight-bearing sports
• Anyone seeking personalized data to optimize nutrition and training programs

No special preparation is needed for your MRI examination. In most cases, you may follow your normal routine prior to your scan. You may eat and drink normally and take any prescription medications as usual.

You should plan to arrive at the Diagnostic Suite a minimum of 15 minutes prior to your appointment time. This will allow you to complete the necessary paperwork specific to the MRI scan. Please bring photo identification and current insurance card.

An MRI exam is really quite simple. With the assistance of an MRI technologist, you will be positioned on the exam table. The patient table will be lowered to a minimum of 18 inches from the floor for easy patient access. The table will move smoothly into the magnet opening and the exam will begin. An MRI scan is painless. During the exam, you will not feel anything. The only thing you will notice is a knocking sound that occurs as the images are being taken.

For most exams you are lying on your back. We are limited by the body part we are imaging, but we try to make you comfortable so that you can lie still for the exam.

For your comfort, you may listen to the radio or a CD – one of ours, or bring your own.

The length of your exam is dependent on the type of study performed. Most MRI exams are completed between 30 and 60 minutes. However if you have multiple scans, the exam could last longer.

Because of the potential harmful effects associated with all metallic objects in a magnetic field, you should check with your physician or MRI technologist if the following conditions exist:

• pacemaker
• metal implants (plates, screws, pins, rods)
• tattoos
• permanent eyeliner
• aneurysm clips
• recent surgery
• pregnancy

Patients with pacemakers, certain ear implants, shrapnel near the heart, and brain aneurysm clips cannot be examined. Our technologists will carefully assess your situation and prepare you for your procedure. If you have been given a card indicating the type of implant you have, please bring it with you for the radiologist and technologist to review.

Our MRI magnet is not open-sided. However, it is a long donut-shape that is open on both ends to provide comfort. This type of unit was selected because of its high quality images.

Your head may stick out depending on your height and what part of your body is being scanned. The part that is being imaged is in the middle of the magnet. For example if your ankle is being scanned, your head will be outside the MR scanner. If your head, neck or chest is scanned, your head will be inside the scanner.

The magnet is located in a spacious suite which has an exterior window providing natural light. Our magnet is a ‘short bore magnet’ which means only the portion of your body being scanned will be enclosed in the magnet. If you are concerned about the possibility of claustrophobia, please speak with your Campbell Clinic physician prior to scheduling your procedure.

You will be in contact with the technologist at all times. Even when he or she is not in the MRI room, you will be able to talk to him or her by intercom. The technologist is just steps away and is always able to see you through a large patient viewing window.

Yes, our machine can accommodate up to 300 pounds and large athletic builds.

We will send the physician who ordered your exam the results within a few working days. After your physician has had an opportunity to review your results, that office may communicate the results.

Not all MRIs are equal. Campbell Clinic is proud to utilize a state of the art MRI which is designed to permit excellent image quality over a wide range of clinical applications.
