QUESTIONS TO TAKE WITH YOU

Take the bone density report to your GP.

Ask your GP to review the report conclusion and scan site. A diagnostic bone density assessment needs to be considered alongside your health history.

At your appointment

  1. Was this a diagnostic bone density scan or a body composition scan?
  2. What does the result mean in my circumstances?
  3. Do I need any follow-up, and who should arrange it?

A sensible next step

Your GP is the appropriate first contact for bone density findings. Do not choose a treatment or rescan interval from a website alone.

These suggestions are general information. Your own practitioner can review the full report and your history.
