Checking bone density for North Oshawa.
Bones can lose density without obvious signs. A bone mineral density test gives your physician a clear measure, and North Oshawa patients can have it done at Rossland Diagnostic Clinic in Ajax.
The scan uses low-energy X-ray to estimate calcium and mineral levels. It helps detect osteoporosis, assess fracture risk and track changes from one test to the next.
You will need a physician referral. On the day, save calcium and iron for after the scan, and wear clothing without metal fasteners where possible.
