Bone Density Software Module
The Bone Density Software Module is designed for a wide range of applications from the study of bone diseases, such as arthritis and osteoporosis, to the efficacy of drugs and other treatment options that may affect bone mineral and other densities. Sophisticated numerical analysis using a cylindrical model provides accurate measurements, not only of the density of the bone, but also of the bone marrow, the size of the bone and the thickness of the bone wall, all important parameters for tracking and monitoring disease development.
New Article Highlight using Bone Density Software
The Bone Density Software module utilizes low-dose “soft” X-rays imaged with high spatial resolution to make accurate measurements of specific segments of individual long bones.
- Independent measure of bone marrow density
- Calibrated conversion to standard units of
density and dimensions
- Multiple measures in a formatted report within seconds
- ROI Tool for Bone Density Analysis - user can select and define multiple Regions of Interest with just a few clicks
- Cylindrical Modeling – automatically converts a planar X-ray image into a density image
- Automatic Energy Calibration - Calibration uses standard Aluminum filters and includes attenuation of air, supporting substrates and the screen
- Highly Detailed Bone Density Reports generated in seconds
- Bone and marrow column densities (units of cm-1)
- Inner and outer radius of long bone (units of cm)
- Bone asymmetry (displacement of center of marrow from
the center of the bone, cm) - Tissue depth (cm)
- Mean X-ray energy (according to the filter used, Kev)
- Bone and marrow surface density (g/cm2)
- Bone volume density (g/cm3)
- Estimate of mathematical fitting quality (Chi-Squared)
