BONE DENSITY

Your Bones Deserve Expert Attention – Get Peace of Mind With a Bone Density Scan at Life Guard Imaging

We often take our bones for granted, but they’re the silent guardians of our bodies, providing structure, support, and freedom of movement. But, just like any other part of our body, our bones need care and attention to stay strong and healthy. As we age, our bones naturally lose density, making them more susceptible to fractures. A bone density scan at Life Guard Imaging is a non-invasive way to assess the strength and density of your bones. It’s the best way to gain valuable insights into your bone health and your risk of fractures.

Why Should You Consider a Bone Density Scan?

Don’t let silent bone loss steal your strength and independence. A bone density scan is your proactive shield against fractures, empowering you to take charge of your bone health and maintain an active lifestyle.

Want to hike your favorite trail without worry? How about enjoying a round of golf at your favorite course—with confidence? A bone density scan gives you the knowledge to make informed decisions about your health, opening the door to early intervention and fracture prevention. So, who should consider a bone density scan?

  • Women over 65

  • Men over 70

  • Anyone with a family history of osteoporosis

  • Individuals with certain medical conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis)

  • Those taking medications that can affect bone health

Early detection makes all the difference. Don’t wait for a fracture to happen—take control of your bone health today and protect your ability to live life to the fullest.

What Should I Expect During a Bone Density Scan? A Simple, Painless Procedure

At Life Guard Imaging, we pride ourselves on providing a comfortable and efficient experience. Our bone density scans are no exception. We offer our bone density scans as an add-on to our full body or lung scan, for your complete peace of mind.

The Power of Knowledge: Understanding Your Results

The results of your bone density scan provide valuable information about your bone health, including your T-score and Z-score. These scores compare your bone density to that of healthy individuals in your age and gender group, giving you a clear picture of your bone strength.

If your scan reveals low bone density, don’t worry. There are plenty of steps you can take to improve your bone health. This information is a great starting point for a conversation with your doctor. Early detection and intervention are key to managing bone health, so don’t hesitate to discuss your results and any concerns you may have.
