Osteoporosis starts silently. With early detection and treatment you can half or even prevent its devastating effects. Protect yourself, a simple 10 minute test is all it takes. This office is now offering bone strength assessment testing with Sunlight Omnisense 7000s bone sonometer to measure and monitor bone health.
Omnisense uses ultrasound as opposed to X-rays and is radiation free, simple and comfortable, which measures the speed of sound along the bone at different skeletal sites in a non-invasive manner. Ultrasound signal travels much faster through the dense medium than through porous medium, Omnisense uses these principles for its operation. At our clinic we measure at the forearm and tibia. Osteoporotic changes starts happening in the arm way before it shows up in legs as legs are weight bearing bones, so that results also helps prevent Osteoporosis. It then records T-score and Z-score for the tested site, which is interpreted by trained practitioner. For more information about Omnisense, visit their website at www.beammed.com.
