Strong bones are essential for maintaining mobility, independence, and overall health—yet bone loss often occurs silently over time. At Woodstock Diagnostic Imaging, we provide advanced bone density testing (DEXA scan) to help detect osteoporosis and assess fracture risk before problems arise.

A bone density scan is a quick, painless, and non-invasive test that uses very low-dose X-rays to measure the mineral content and strength of your bones. Most commonly, the scan is performed on the lower spine and hips, as these areas are most vulnerable to fractures. The results allow your doctor to evaluate bone health and determine if preventive measures, lifestyle changes, or treatments are needed.

Bone density testing is especially recommended for:

• Women over 50 or post-menopause

• Men over 65

• Adults with a family history of osteoporosis

• Individuals who have experienced fractures with minimal trauma

• Patients on long-term steroid medication or with medical conditions affecting bone strength

With our state-of-the-art DEXA technology and experienced imaging professionals, we ensure precise measurements, accurate reporting, and fast turnaround times. Your results are shared directly with your healthcare provider to support timely decisions about your bone health.

Protecting your bones is a lifelong commitment. Alongside testing, maintaining a healthy lifestyle—including a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, regular weight-bearing exercise, and avoiding smoking or excessive alcohol—can help preserve bone strength.

At Woodstock Diagnostic Imaging, our bone density scan services give you the clarity and confidence to take proactive steps in safeguarding your bone health for the future.
