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.
