Bone Density Scans (Dexa scans)
Bone mineral density testing is used to evaluate and diagnose osteoporosis.  This study can measure changes in bone density as well as provide an accurate picture of the risk of future fractures.  It is painless and fast.  It takes about 15 minutes for each scan.  Your doctor will discuss the results with you during your follow-up visit.

Bone density scans are provided on a monthly basis by an outreach service.
