Bone density can change without obvious signs. A bone mineral density scan at Rossland Diagnostic Clinic uses low-energy X-ray technology to estimate the minerals in your bones, and patients from Lynde Creek come to our Ajax clinic for this test.
Your physician can use the results to help detect osteoporosis, judge fracture risk and follow changes over time. The scan itself is quick and painless, and nothing about it is invasive.
A referral from your doctor is needed. On the day, please hold off on calcium supplements and iron tablets until after the exam, wear clothing without metal fasteners where you can, and bring your health card and requisition.
