Bone densitometers are used to perform bone density tests for measuring the bone mineral content and bone mass. To determine bone density, different technologies can be utilized such as X-rays, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA or DXA), and special CT scans. The measurements provide an idea of whether bones have decreased bone mass, indicative of brittle bones, which are more prone to fractures. Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA or DXA) is the most commonly used technology for measuring Bone Mineral Content (BMC) and Bone Mineral Density (BMD). Bone density tests are used to diagnose osteoporosis and to assess an individual’s risk of developing osteoporotic fractures that include the clinical spine, forearm, hip, and shoulder fractures.
Major Key Players of the Bone Densitometer Market are:
General Electric Company, Hologic, Inc., DMS Imaging, Medonica Co. LTD, Ecolight S.p.A., Oscare Medical, CyberLogic, inc.,NanjingKejin Industrial LLC., and Trivitron Healthcare, among others.
