OSTEOHEALTH - Bone Density Scanning Service Osteohealth NZ Ltd provides a safe, low-cost, non-invasive ultrasound bone density scan of the heel to help assess risk of Osteoporosis. We also offer advice on preventative measures. How does a bone density scan work? Your foot is placed in the ultrasound machine to calculate the stiffness index which is an indicator of bone strength. Your bone density is then determined by passing ultrasound waves through your heel bone. ​ These sound waves are then received at the other side of your heel after being absorbed by the bone structure inside. The denser your bone structure the more sound waves are absorbed. This enables a measurement of your bone density to be determined.
