Preparing for Your Bone Density Exam
Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment time to complete a bone density questionnaire.
Bring a list of your medications and vitamin supplements, including dosages.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing—no metal snaps, closures, hooks, zippers, etc. T-shirts and sweats work best.
Do not take calcium supplements the morning of your test.
You may eat and drink as usual.
No x-ray studies with contrast in the seven days leading up to your appointment (IVP, upper GI or barium enemas or swallows, CT scans with oral contrast)
If you think you’re pregnant, tell us immediately.
