Measuring bone strength for Wismer patients.
Bone density can change quietly over the years, and a scan gives your physician a number to work with. Rossland Diagnostic Clinic in Ajax offers bone mineral density testing for patients referred from across the region, Wismer included.
The test uses low-energy X-ray to estimate the calcium and minerals in your bones. It can help detect osteoporosis, assess fracture risk and show change over time, and athletes sometimes use the results too.
On exam day, leave calcium supplements and iron tablets until after the scan, wear clothing without metal fasteners where possible, and bring your health card and requisition. Our team is at 905-426-3111 if you have questions.
