How to fill out bone mineral density:

2. Before the test, inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are currently taking, as some medications may affect the results of the test.
3. Wear loose, comfortable clothing that does not have metal fastenings or buttons. Metal can interfere with the accuracy of the scan.
