Introduction
Based on patented technology, the OsteoGram uses standard or
digital x-ray equipment to provide clinicians with a cost-effective
method of measuring BMD (bone mineral density).
OsteoGram is a useful tool to diagnose osteoporosis and predict
fracture risk. It requires no special training and has been cleared
by the FDA for commercial use.
Backed with superior technical specifications, the OsteoGram
allows the entire process of assessing BMD to be performed at
the point-of-care in less than five minutes. Once the required
hand x-ray is taken, the developed film is scanned at the
healthcare provider's facility with a standard desktop scanner,
and the OsteoGram software analysis program instantly produces
the BMD report.
The OsteoGram offers unsurpassed clinical performance, access
and convenience at a fraction of the price of most other BMD testing
devices.
The new DICOM version of the OsteoGram automatically performs
the analysis on digital (filmless) x-ray equipment or network
servers, providing enhanced utilization of existing equipment.
The patented OsteoGram technology will be applied to a suite
of value-added applications, such as arthritis, vertebral fractures
and scoliosis. Today’s OsteoGram is the beginning of a series
of sound investments for tomorrow’s patient care.
