Finding thinning bone

The test helps your physician recognize osteoporosis, sometimes before any symptoms appear.

Calcium and minerals measured

A low-energy X-ray beam estimates the mineral content of your bones.

Relaxed and painless

You simply lie on the table while the scanner does its work.

Your visit, your community

Clear numbers on your bone health.

Your bones are living tissue, and their mineral content can change over time. A bone mineral density test uses low-energy X-ray to estimate how much calcium and mineral they hold, giving your physician a way to detect osteoporosis and gauge fracture risk.

People living near Scarborough Town Centre can have this scan at our Ajax clinic, east along Highway 401. It is quick, painless and non-invasive, and athletes sometimes use the results as well. You will need a referral from your physician to book.

For an accurate reading, hold off on calcium supplements and iron tablets until your scan is complete, and wear clothing free of metal fasteners where possible. Questions about preparation are welcome at 905-426-3111.
