Measuring the minerals in your bones.
Bone mineral density testing gives your physician a measure of how strong your bones are. Using low-energy X-ray, the scan estimates the calcium and minerals in your bones, which helps detect osteoporosis and assess your risk of fracture.
The test is quick, painless and non-invasive. Repeat scans can also show how your bone density changes over time, and some athletes use the results to understand their bone health. Patients from East Scarborough are welcome at our Ajax clinic with a physician referral.
On the day of your scan, please do not take calcium supplements or iron tablets until afterward. Wear clothing without zippers or metal fasteners when possible, and bring your health card and requisition. Call 905-426-3111 to arrange your appointment.
