Are you looking for a bone density test in Alberta?

A bone density test uses a very low-dose X-ray machine that evaluates bone loss commonly associated with osteopenia or osteoporosis. The bone density test uses two low-energy X-ray beams to examine the strength of your bones, identify potential fracture risk, and evaluate the efficacy of therapy. A bone density test is most commonly performed on the lumbar spine, hip, and forearm, as these bones have been shown to generate the most reliable measurements for predicting fractures and monitoring treatment.
