Measuring bone strength for Kedron residents.
Bone density changes quietly, which is why physicians use a scan to measure it. Kedron residents with a referral can have a bone mineral density test at Rossland Diagnostic Clinic in Ajax.
The test uses low-energy X-ray to estimate the calcium and mineral content of your bones. It helps detect osteoporosis, assess fracture risk and monitor change, and athletes sometimes use it too.
The scan itself is quick and painless. On the day, hold off on calcium and iron tablets until it is over, wear metal-free clothing if possible, and bring your requisition and health card for the trip from Kedron.
