Your visit, your community
Knowing your fracture risk sooner.
Osteoporosis often develops quietly, and a bone mineral density test is one of the main ways physicians check for it. The scan estimates how dense your bones are by measuring their calcium and mineral content.
The results help your physician assess fracture risk, decide on next steps and monitor change over future scans. The test uses low-energy X-ray and is quick, painless and non-invasive.
Eastdale residents need a physician referral before booking at our Ajax clinic. Please wear metal-free clothing if you can, wait on calcium and iron tablets, and bring your health card and requisition.
