What is Ultrasound Bone Densitometer?

Osteoporosis is not a serious disease in the eyes of many people, and it has not attracted everyone’s attention. This chronic disease may not cause death. Many people do not choose to test or seek medical treatment even if they know that they may have low bone density. The bone density test has already been planted in their hearts. It is a lie, and they don’t want to be fooled. Eating a little more good food and exercising can make up for it.

Contemporary women, in the age group of 25 to 35, more than 50% of white-collar women have more severe bone loss than men, and the incidence is significantly higher than that of men. Women feel lower back pain, a considerable part of which is an early symptom of osteoporosis. Nowadays, many young women are prone to osteoporosis due to dieting to lose weight, sitting more and moving less, and unbalanced diet.

Changes in bone mineral density during pregnancy and lactation are caused by the growth and development of fetuses and infants.

In contemporary men, middle-aged men begin to lose bone mass due to smoking, alcoholism, and metabolic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. If you have symptoms such as easy fatigue, body aches and fatigue, fatigue, sweating, numbness, cramps, etc., it is very necessary to test the bone density.

Nowadays, people pay more and more attention to bone health issues. It can be seen from the usual physical examination that the bone density test, which was not concerned before, is also listed as a must-check item.

“Bone density” stands for “bone mineral density” and is the main indicator of bone strength.

Bone density test can effectively help to understand the bone condition and prevent the occurrence of osteoporosis. In clinical use of bone mineral density, the T value is usually used to judge whether the bone mineral density is normal due to the different absolute values of different bone density detectors. The T value is a relative value, and the normal reference value is between -1 and +1. When the T value is lower than -2.5, it is abnormal, that is, osteoporosis.

However, the T value is not as high as possible. If the T value is too high, although it is not osteoporosis, the bone is too hard and brittle, and fractures are also prone to occur.

Compared with X-ray densitometry, the ultrasonic bone density tester has the characteristics of low price, simple operation, no radiation and high accuracy. It can detect physiological parameters such as bone density and bone strength of the human body, and can prevent the physiological development of children and the risk of bone damage and fracture in the elderly. It has great reference value and guiding value.

The calcaneal bone density ultrasound detector of our health management department only needs to place the left foot (or right foot) of the examinee on the foot pedal for adjustment and fixation, and the radiation beam of the scanner automatically scans the trabeculae of the examinee’s calcaneus. Bone position, the test results are displayed on the display screen, so as to automatically measure the bone quality of the subject. Simple operation, especially non-radiation, can completely avoid the carcinogenic and teratogenic side effects of X-ray absorptiometry. The elderly also have an increased risk of cancer because of the reduced ability to repair damaged cells. The ultrasound absorptiometry does not have any rays, it is suitable for the bone density examination of children, pregnant women and the elderly, which is safe and reliable.
