Measuring bone strength for Stouffville patients.
Bones can thin gradually without obvious symptoms. A bone mineral density test uses low-energy X-ray technology to measure the calcium and minerals in your bones, giving your physician a clear estimate of their strength.
The results help detect osteoporosis, assess the risk of fracture and track change over time. Athletes sometimes use them as well. The exam itself is quick, painless and non-invasive.
Stouffville patients need a physician referral before booking with our Ajax clinic. On the day, hold off on calcium and iron tablets until after the scan, dress without metal fasteners, and bring your health card and requisition.
