Your visit, your community
Follow-up scans that show how bones are changing.
A single bone density result is useful, but comparing scans over the years can tell your physician even more. Our Ajax clinic offers bone mineral density testing for Memorial Village patients who have a doctor’s referral.
The exam uses low-energy X-ray to estimate how much calcium and mineral is in your bones. It helps detect osteoporosis, assess fracture risk and track change, and some athletes also use the results.
It is quick, painless and non-invasive. Take calcium supplements and iron tablets only after the scan, wear clothes without metal fasteners if you can, and bring your health card and requisition.
Scan-day prep
Pills after, paperwork before.
Holding supplements and bringing your documents are the two things that matter most.
- Calcium and iron wait until after your scan
- Avoid zippers and metal fasteners where possible
- Bring your health card and requisition
