Your visit, your community
A clearer picture of your bone health.
Bone loss often happens quietly, without symptoms. A bone mineral density scan uses low-energy X-ray to estimate how much calcium and mineral your bones contain, giving your physician a clearer picture of your bone health.
The results can help detect osteoporosis, assess your risk of fracture and track changes from one scan to the next. Athletes sometimes use the information too. The test itself is quick, painless and non-invasive.
