Your visit, your community
Watching how your bones change over time.
Bone mineral density testing is useful not only for a first check, but for following changes over time. Riverside Ajax patients can have this scan at Rossland Diagnostic Clinic on Rossland Road East with a physician’s referral.
Using low-energy X-ray, the test estimates the calcium and minerals in your bones. It helps detect osteoporosis, assess fracture risk and monitor change, and some athletes use the results too. Most people find it over quickly and feel nothing at all.
On exam day, hold off on calcium supplements and iron tablets until after the scan, and wear clothing without zippers or metal where you can. Tuck your requisition in beside your health card before you leave.
Prep notes
Zippers off, supplements later.
Metal and certain tablets can affect results, so plan your outfit and morning routine ahead.
- No zippers or metal fasteners if possible
- Calcium and iron after the scan, not before
