초록

The bone densitometer is to investigate the bone mineral content and density for the osteoporosis assessment by using dual energy X-ray photons. For the clinical verification of the ISOL's OSTEO plus, the clinical study was performed with healthy and non-menopausal 30 female volunteers. The fan-beam DXA machine (Lunar, Expert) was chosen as a reference. After correlation analysis of their bone mineral densities, a strong correlation was obtained. From the results, it is claimed that the new forearm bone densitometer is clinically useful in osteoporosis diagnosis.
