Bone Density Testing

Lake View Memorial Hospital is proud to announce this new service for our community.

What is a Bone Density Test?

It is an exam that uses a very low dose of radiation to measure the density of your bones. If the bone density is low, then you have osteoporosis and have a very high risk of fracturing your bones. The exam only takes a few minutes and is painless.

Who is a candidate for this test?

All women age 65 and over, all men aged 70 and older, anyone with a fragility fracture, anyone with a disease, condition or medication associated with Osteoporosis and women who have been on hormonal treatment for prolonged periods; to name a few. If you feel you are a candidate for this test schedule a visit with your primary care physician and they can evaluate your medical information to see if you would be eligible for this test.

If you have any questions about this new service being provided to our community don't hesitate to call Lake View Memorial Hospital Radiology Department at 834-7386.
