Hi nanette, welcome... I'm not sure what type of error you are recieving, but if it's preventing you from posting report it to the site. I would try the "contact us" link below.
A bone density scan is a DXA (aka DEXA). So that's the test you'd want to have to determine your bone density scores.
Good luck we hope you get good news with it...
