A Legacy guide to bone density testing.
Your physician may suggest a bone mineral density test to check for osteoporosis or to see how your bones are changing. Rossland Diagnostic Clinic in Ajax performs this scan for referred patients, including those from Legacy.
You simply lie still on the table for a short, painless exam. Low-energy X-ray estimates density by measuring calcium and minerals, helping your physician assess fracture risk and compare results over time.
Please hold calcium supplements and iron tablets on exam day until after the scan, wear clothing without metal where possible, and bring your health card and requisition. Our clinic has free parking and ground-floor access.
Exam-day notes
