Your visit, your community
Know where your bone health stands.
Bones can thin gradually over time, often without symptoms. Bone mineral density testing at Rossland Diagnostic Clinic gives your physician a measure of your bone health, and residents of Blue Grass Meadows travel to our Ajax clinic for the scan.
The test uses low-energy X-ray technology to estimate the calcium and minerals in your bones. Results can help detect osteoporosis, assess fracture risk and track changes between visits, and some athletes use them as well.
