Bone Density Screening

Osteoporosis can be brought on by aging, hormone changes, illnesses, and medications. The condition means that your bones weaken, which can make you more prone to fractures.

We can help, by measuring your bone density to diagnose and detect osteoporosis early. This simple non-invasive spine and hip scan can provide you and your provider with information to determine if treatment is needed to protect your bones.

If you are scheduled for a bone density screening, please follow these steps:

• Wear clothing without zippers.
• Avoid barium products.
• Do not schedule any nuclear medicine exams for one week prior to your screening.
• Do not take calcium tablets, including antacids for 12 hours before your exam.
