Information

In our center we have a brand new DEXA SCAN DMS STRATOS COMPACT machine (2020 model).

Osteopenia is the initial stage before osteoporosis which is a bone condition caused by calcium deficiency and results in the bones being thinner and more fragile. In addition, to measuring bone density, Stratos is a flexible device with a wide range of applications such as fracture risk assessment, predisposition monitoring, and weight management.

The examination is done in a minimum of time as the patient is lying on the test bed. It is a reliable method of low radiation. The measurement is done in the lumbar spine but also in the neck of the femoral bones.

If the patient has had α spinal fusion or has an orthopedic material in the femur, the bone cannot be properly measured. In such a case the measurement is done where there is no metal.
