Bone density testing isn’t only about osteoporosis. While it helps your doctor detect osteoporosis and assess fracture risk, athletes may also use the results. Nottingham patients can have this scan at our clinic in Ajax with a physician’s referral.
The scan uses low-energy X-ray to estimate bone density by measuring calcium and minerals. It’s quick, painless and non-invasive, and repeat scans help monitor changes over time.
On exam day, wait until after your scan to take calcium supplements or iron tablets. Wear clothing without zippers or metal fasteners if possible, and bring your health card and requisition. Call 905-426-3111 to book.
