Osteoporosis Screening (DEXA Scanning)

Women are at greater risk for osteoporosis because their bones are lighter and smaller. The most accurate, non-invasive, safe and painless test available to measure bone mineral density (BMD) is the Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) measurement of the spine and hip. Our DEXA scanner enables us to measure the bone density of our patients on site. This service is especially intended for patients over the age of 40 and can be scheduled on the same day as your annual exam.

Ultrasound

Many ultrasound services are offered at Women's Clinic for your convenience. Ultrasound scanning uses sound waves to project a picture of internal body organs onto a television monitor. For gynecology, ultrasound is used to evaluate the uterus, ovaries and tubes. Breast ultrasound is also available for patients and is used to compliment a diagnostic mammogram or to investigate a palpable area on the breast.

For pregnancy, ultrasound is routinely used to measure growth and development of the growing fetus. Genetic screening is also available to pregnant women who elective to have the test. Two of our ultrasound technicians are Nuchal Translucency certified and perform genetic risk screening.
