Cherrywood bone health, measured simply.
A bone mineral density scan measures the calcium and minerals in your bones using low-energy X-ray. Patients from Cherrywood with a physician’s referral can have the test at our Ajax clinic on a weekday or Saturday.
The results help detect osteoporosis, assess fracture risk and monitor change over time. Some athletes also use the scan to understand their bone health.
On the day, hold off on calcium supplements and iron tablets until after your scan, and wear clothes without zippers or metal fasteners where possible. Please remember your health card and requisition.
