Ultrasound Bone Densitometry

There are various different procedures that can measure bone density: dual energy x-ray absorptiometry

Osteoporosis is common after menopause. Ultrasound Bone Densitometry is very useful in the prevention strategies and care monitoring.

(DEXA), which uses a special x-ray scanning machine to measure bone density is the most popular technique as it is fast and highly accurate. Currently, bone densitometry tests are the only accurate measurements of bone mass and fracture risk.

ULTRASOUND BONE MINERALOMETRY is a modern technique for evaluating the Bone Mineral Content (BMC), easy to use, without any biological risk and it appear to offer a more possibly cost-effective method of screening bone mass.

OSTEOPOROSIS is a bone chronic degenerative disease characterized by a mineral (calcium) progressive loss leading to a loss of strength and to a bone structure deterioration in both external (cortical) and internal (trabecular). Consequence of this demineralization is an increased bone fragility which results in an increased bone fracture tendency that in most serious cases can also occurring in irrelevant mechanical events even like a simple cough. Bone Mineralometry (also called Bone Densitometry) has an important diagnostic role.

FRACTURE can tipically occur to femurs or vertebras or affect Peripherals such as the long bones of the forearm (i.e. Colles’ fracture). Their occurrence may bring invalidating functional situations (with intense pains and constrained body movements) for those affected by. Also called “Silent Disease”, Osteoporosis clinically manifests itself only when are fractures are in fact final complications of something else.

The awareness of this evolution for a long time asymptomatic (devoid of trouble for the patient) induced an instrumental techniques development capable of detecting very early bone loss of calcium and monitor it in time.

Among these techniques has aroused particular interest the Ultrasound Bone Mineralometry: usually performed at the calcareous or at the phalanges.

Fifteen years ago now the Bone Quantitative Ultrasound (QUS) has been introduced into bone tissues clinical practice and recently ultrasound measurements have been included in the FRAX fracture prediction tool, and they can be used to predict risk of osteoporotic fractures.

The interest for Ultrasound Bone Densitometry (Bone Quantitative Ultrasound) is related to some of its features: it is a relatively inexpensive and simple survey, easy to put into effects and without ionizing radiation.

QUS measurement allows not only to have a reliable quantification of bone mineral density but also gives information on the structure and mechanical strength of the bone tissue with a characteristic predictive ability.

The tool used has, as a bone segment example, the phalanges of the hand. The reasons of this choice is related to the fact that these small bone structures have a proper balance between medullary (trabecular) and cortical (compact) bone. This allow an optimal estimation of the general skeletal mineralization.

Latest Bone Density Test For Adults

Bone Density Test in Adults

Are you looking for a bone density test? Until the last few years, bone density has not been discussed much. But, nowadays some shocking facts have emerged. One in every 4 men, and one in 2 women, over the age of 50, will break a bone because of osteoporosis. These statistics are quite scary, thus, arise the need to measure bone density.

Importance of Measuring Bone Density

Bone Density Test – Beammed.

Osteoporosis is a bone disease in which the bone density is decreased, and its structural integrity is weakened, which makes the bone more brittle. This disease is progressive and with time, the outer portion of the bone (also known as the cortex) becomes more porous and thinner and makes the bone more prone to fractures. Osteoporosis affects millions of people worldwide. As the disease usually does not show any symptoms, most individuals don’t even know that they have it until is to late and they break a bone.

Therefore, checking the health of your bones periodically is very important. And most medical experts recommend measuring the bone density.

There are a lot of ways to check the health of your bones. One most common way is through densitometry. Densitometry measures the density of your bones and how much minerals are contained in your them. Minerals in your bones are essential in making your bones healthy. However, if you don’t have sufficient minerals, you may acquire bone diseases such as osteoporosis due to the weakness of the bones.

Benefits of Measuring Bone Density

The bone density test allows you to know how much density your bones have. By knowing that, you can avoid bone fractures. And by improving the bone density, you can prevent such painful situations. This means you can increase your bone density and make your bones healthier before they reach the point of no return.

Furthermore, bone density test is also helpful in determining the risks of bone breakage. It’s crucial to know whether you have a risk of fracturing your bones. This way, you will be able to avoid specific activities that may damage your skeletal system. These activities may include dance, sports, and other activities that involve physical movements.

Effects of Low Bone Density 

Low bone density has a lot of negative effects. For example, bone diseases, especially the ones that affect the spine, can result in decrease in  height or hunchbacks. The chances of fracturing your bones with everyday activities such as playing sports or exercising also become high. In worst cases, it even comes to bone transplant to help the bone regeneration process.

BeamMed – Bone Density Test

We develop and manufacture bone density assessments for bone age and early detection of osteoporosis. Around the world, thousands of our devices are used in clinics and physician offices. Our patented Omnipath™ axial transmission technology it is been proven to improve HEDIS measures, allowing 5-stars rating for Hedis OMW.
