DENSITOMETER OSTEOSYS MEDONICA DEXXUM-3

The bone x-ray densitometer DEXXUM-3 allows you to determine bone mineral density using dual-energy absorptiometry, recognized as the "gold standard" for the universal diagnosis of osteoporosis risk, since it combines a number of advantageous qualities: the ability to study the axial skeleton, high sensitivity and specificity, accuracy and reproducibility, low dose x-ray exposure, the speed of research.
The design of DEXXUM-3 is specially designed for the convenience of all ages of patients. Its height from the floor is only 64.2 cm, which is especially important for elderly patients.

Application area
The equipment is intended for examination of the spine and femurs. It is widely used in rheumatology, obstetrics, gynecology, endocrinology and traumatology to detect early changes in the skeletal structure at the preclinical stage, with the aim of further treatment.

Peculiarities
The high scanning speed of the DEXXUM-3 densitometer allows you to get research results in 85 seconds. for the spine and in 65 sec. for the thigh bones.
The continuous scan process is patented and consists of parametric imaging of the skeleton by rearranging a series of 2D images sequentially recorded during linear continuous displacement.
The software allows you to sort and compare measurement data by date of examination and by density.
DEXXUM-3 is a reliable, multifunctional densitometer for hospitals and clinics.

Main characteristics
Automatic determination of bone mineral density and display of results in the form of an absolute indicator of BMD (content of mineral density per 1 sq. cm. of the scanned surface), each area of ​​the examined surface.
Editing (adding and deleting) the bone scan area allows you to reduce the level of errors in the calculation of the BMD index, especially when scanning with implants, after fractures or operations.
Daily quality control (phantom measurement) guarantees high stability of the results.
Reproducibility of studies not less than 99%
User-friendly software, support for several languages, including Russian, color image of data, customization of reports at the request of the customer.
Results display:
as BMD (Bone Mineral Density) values ​​in g/cm. sq.
in the form of a T-test, the ratio of the patient's actual bone mass to the typical (maximum) bone mass of young healthy patients of the same sex, calculated as a standard deviation (SD) value.
in the form of a Z-criterion - the ratio of the patient's bone mass to the average age bone mass of the reference group, calculated as a standard deviation value.
