The scan is quick, painless and non-invasive. Athletes may also use bone density results, and many patients have repeat scans to monitor their bone health. Highland Creek patients with a physician referral are welcome at our Ajax clinic.
On the day of your test, please skip calcium supplements and iron tablets until your scan is done. Metal-free clothing is helpful, and your health card and requisition should come with you. Our team at 905-426-3111 can set up your appointment.
