Ashburn bone density, followed from one scan to the next.
A single bone density result is useful, and a series of them can show how your bones are changing. Rossland Diagnostic Clinic in Ajax offers bone mineral density testing to Ashburn patients with a physician referral.
The scan uses low-energy X-ray to measure calcium and minerals. It can help detect osteoporosis, assess fracture risk and monitor change, and athletes may use the results too. The exam is quick, painless and non-invasive.
On exam day, wear clothes without zippers or metal fasteners where you can, and wait until after the scan to take calcium supplements or iron tablets. Bring your health card and requisition to Unit 102, 300 Rossland Road East.
