Preparing for your bone density scan appointment

A few guidelines:

  • Do not take calcium tablets or supplements the morning of the examination.
  • Wear clothing that does not have buttons, metal buckles or zippers.
  • Wear pants with an elastic waist, leisure or yoga pants, or track-suit bottoms.
  • Arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment so that you have time to complete and sign a questionnaire regarding your medical history.
