Your visit, your community
A short scan with long-term value.
Bone mineral density testing is a quick, painless scan that uses low-energy X-ray. It estimates the calcium and minerals in your bones to help detect osteoporosis and gauge fracture risk.
Centennial Oshawa patients come to our Ajax clinic, our only location, on weekdays or Saturdays. A physician referral is required before booking.
Repeat scans help your doctor monitor changes over time, and athletes sometimes use the results as well. On exam day, avoid metal fasteners and wait until afterward to take calcium or iron.
Before the scan
Fastener-free clothing makes a cleaner reading.
Zippers, buttons with metal and same-day mineral supplements can get in the way of an accurate measurement.
- Choose clothing without metal when you can.
- No calcium or iron tablets until afterward.
- Bring your requisition and health card.
