Catching osteoporosis before a fracture does.
Osteoporosis often goes unnoticed until a bone breaks. A bone mineral density scan uses low-energy X-ray to measure the calcium and minerals in your bones, helping your physician detect osteoporosis and assess your fracture risk.
The test is quick, painless and non-invasive, and repeat scans can show changes over time. Athletes sometimes use the results as well. Midtown Ajax patients need a physician referral to book.
On exam day, skip calcium supplements and iron tablets until after the scan, wear clothes without metal fasteners when possible, and bring your health card and requisition to Unit 102, 300 Rossland Road East.
