Mobile Images provides bone density screenings at the heel using dexa scan equipment. T-Score results are instantly printed on-site and left with the physicians. Bone Density exams are offered Monday through Friday.
A bone density test determines if a patient has osteoporosis (a disease that causes bones to become more fragile and more likely to break). This test makes it possible to know a patient’s risk of breaking bones before it occurs.
