BONE DENSITY

Wear comfortable clothing with no metal zippers, buttons or buckles. Also, remove your jewelry or metal items beforehand. A brief medical history is required which may include: family history of osteoporosis, radiographic findings of osteoporosis, recent fractures, and post menopause or early menopause information.

Let the bone density technologist know if you are pregnant or think you may be. Please make the technologist aware if you have any metal implants inside your body, recent fractures or have had a recent nuclear medicine scan or a barium enema.
