DBM Sonic Bone Profiler is the only ultrasound device that applies the method of signal analysis in transmission through phalanges. This technique of clinical investigation has proven to be particularly effective in postmenopausal osteoporosis: for screening, diagnosis and therapies monitoring.
Bone tissue at the phalanx shows the highest sensibility to bone resorption occurring at the menopause.
Recently, the NORA study has demonstrated, on a sample of over 200,000 women in post menopause, that the investigation of bone tissue at the phalanx is extremely significant for the prediction of fracture risk caused by osteoporosis at the femoral neck.
The investigation is performed by the transmission of an ultrasound beam through the phalanges.
