Following your bone health from one scan to the next.
For many patients, bone density is something to track rather than check once. Rossland Diagnostic Clinic in Ajax offers bone mineral density testing for people in Pringle Creek who have been referred by their physician.
Using low-energy X-ray, the scan estimates calcium and mineral levels in your bones. Your physician can use the results to help detect osteoporosis, assess fracture risk and compare readings over time. Some athletes use the results too.
On exam day, take calcium supplements and iron tablets only after your scan, and wear clothes without zippers or metal fasteners where possible. Your health card and requisition should come with you to the clinic.

Metal-free clothing and an empty supplement box.
Simple choices that morning help the measurement go smoothly. Bring your paperwork with you.
