Osteoporosis is a debilitating disease that affects millions of people every year. However, early detection of this disease can lead to effective treatment.
Our new DPX bone densitometer measures changes in bone density precisely, providing invaluable information in the assessment of metabolic bone disease. It measures common fracture sites (proximal, femur and spine) and the results include comparisons to reference populations.
Examinations are comfortable, fast and safe. Patients typically spend only minutes reclining fully clothed on the densitometer. Radiation exposure is very low (equivalent to 1/20th of the dosage received in a normal x-ray).
The operator is with the patient at all times, and results are available quickly.
