X-ray system, diagnostic, bone absorptiometer, dual-energy

Bone densitometers are diagnostic dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry systems that produce bone density measurements using two distinct photon energy peaks , and provide information on muscle mass, fat mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat and bone mineral density . These devices support the diagnosis of osteoporosis and the prevention of future fractures through measured bone mineral density results , with particular application in diagnosing osteoporosis in post-menopausal women and men over 50 .
