CT Simulator for Bone Mineral Analysis of the Femoral Neck
For research studies of the femoral neck
| Change in trabecular bone mineral content is an early indicator of change in metabolic function. CT, with its superior contrast discrimination, is a major tool in the evaluation of trabecular bone in the central skeleton. All CT scanners require a standard of reference to properly perform quantitative tissue analysis. The Model 005 is the CT densitometry system to provide a solid epoxy matrix with true calcium hydroxyapatite references. The system provides extremely stable density references and does not require special extrapolations or complex calculations. |
