Echolight Bone Ultrasound
Radiation-free technology
Bone health revolution for detection of osteopenia and osteoporosis.
Echolight Bone Ultrasound is a radiation-free method for assessing bone mineral density and quality at the lumbar vertebrae and proximal femur. It uses a proprietary Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry (R.E.M.S.) method to analyze the RF signals acquired during an ultrasound scan of the target bone structure. This allows for a detailed characterization of the internal bone microarchitecture, which is not possible with other bone density testing methods.
Echolight Bone Ultrasound has several advantages over other bone density testing methods, including:
1. Radiation-free
Echolight Bone Ultrasound does not use any ionizing radiation, making it a safe and accessible option for all patients, including pregnant women and children.
2. Accurate
The method overcomes all the main limitations of DXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) and QUS (Quantitative Bone Ultrasound).
3. Quick and Easy
Echolight Bone Ultrasound scans produce an automated report in minutes. It take just 80 seconds for the spine and 40 seconds for the femur.
FDA APPROVED
Through an ultrasound scan of axial anatomical sites such as the spine and femur, this innovative technology allows to measure bone mineral density besides ensuring a high level of accuracy, it does not require radiological protection.
Echolight Bone Ultrasound is a valuable tool for the prevention, early diagnosis, and monitoring of osteoporosis and other bone diseases. It gives a more proactive approach to bone health. It predicts fragility fractures for women and patients with type 2 diabetes or other risk factors. It helps in pre-operative bone assessment prior to joint replacement or spine fusion surgery. It is also a good option for patients who cannot or do not want to have DXA scans, such as pregnant women and children.
