Measuring bone strength for Whitevale patients.
Bone mineral density testing gives your physician a clear measure of bone strength. Rossland Diagnostic Clinic in Ajax offers this scan to patients from Whitevale who have been referred by their doctor.
The test uses low-energy X-ray to estimate the calcium and minerals in your bones. It helps detect osteoporosis, assess fracture risk and track changes over time, and some athletes also use it to understand their bone health.
On exam day, avoid calcium supplements and iron tablets until the scan is complete, and wear clothing without metal if you can. Bring your health card and requisition when you make the drive in from rural north Pickering.
