◆ Strenghts of the test

● Ultrasound type is received as safe to use among users, alleviating their concern about radiation emission as in the case of X-ray.
● Relieve burden on patients as the measurement time is only 15 seconds or less.
● Compact size, easy to move and can be installed anywhere.
● Diagnose osteoporosis by comparing bone mineral density acquired through computer-calculation of ultrasound measurement data, to the mean of sample group and standard deviation.
● Minimal difference in repeatability due to temperature change since BQI (Bone Quality Index) is calculated, using a combination of SOS and BUA.
● Embedded highly sensitive 6.4” Touch Screen allows for easy and stand-alone measurement
● Embedded thermal printer allows easy, quick, cost-saving printout of the result, guaranteeing optimal performance during medical examination on the move.
● Cheaper to maintain due to the probe made of semi-permanent and highly elastic and safe material, without requiring balloon which uses water or oil.
● When the foot is put in the equipment, the probe is automatically positioned on both sides of calcaneus by fine-tuned pressuring sensor.
● USB port on the back of the equipment makes patient data management easier.
