Your visit, your community
Numbers that show how your bones are doing.
Bone density changes quietly, which is why physicians use a bone mineral density scan to measure it. The exam uses low-energy X-ray technology to estimate how much calcium and mineral your bones contain.
Results can help detect osteoporosis, assess fracture risk and track change from one scan to the next. Athletes may also use the information.
A physician referral is required. Patients from the Taunton Oshawa area should bring a health card and requisition to our Ajax clinic, wear clothing without metal fasteners and wait on calcium or iron until the scan is done.
Before the scan
Supplements wait, metal stays home.
Calcium and iron can affect the reading, and metal fasteners can get in the way. Plan both before you leave.
- Hold calcium and iron until after your scan.
- Wear clothes without zippers or metal fasteners.
- Bring health card and requisition.
