How this category is typically accessed
This describes who is usually involved at each level — not a ranking, and not a claim about effectiveness. A given provider may operate at more than one level.
Self-directed
Scheduling and comparing imaging centers is something you can research yourself, but the scan and its reading are not self-directed.
Wellness-professional guided
Some fitness or performance coaches use body-composition data (like DEXA scans) as part of a broader program, alongside the clinical scan itself.
Physician-guided
Whole-body MRI, cardiac imaging and CT are performed and interpreted by licensed radiologists and imaging centers.
Advanced or destination-based
Some imaging modalities are concentrated in specific specialty centers, which may mean traveling to access a particular technology.
