OsteoSys Primus

  • PRIMUS is a whole body analyzer for the BMD(Bone Mineral Density), body composition, and bone morphology by scanning the whole body or a specific area of the body with its cutting edge Dual X-ray Absorptiometry(DXA) technology.

  • Total Body Assessment

    This function provides total body image which detectors can utilize for assessing body structure through Auto ROI and segmentation software.
  • Ergonomic Scanning

    Ergonomic scanning can reduce radiation dose by providing an efficient scan area and short scan time. It is less harmful than the normal entire area scanning method.

A dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan (DEXA), or bone density scan, is a special type of X-ray that measures bone mineral density (BMD). It provides details of your bones health by measuring bone strength or fragility and the risk of fractures or broken bones. The higher the density, generally, the lower the risk of fracture.The test carefully analyzes the risk of bone mineral loss. This test also measures your body composition of visceral fat and muscle mass.The spine and one or both hips are routinely scanned.

No major preparation is required for this procedure. You do not need to fast, and you can take all your medications as usual. There are no tunnels or confined spaces, no injections and the procedure is not painful. It is helpful to wear loose fitting, comfortable clothing without metal buttons, buckles, fasteners or zippers, as metal objects interfere with the scan. A gown or sheet is usually provided if clothing needs to be removed.

SERVICE BREADTH

A bone density scan uses low dose X-rays to see how dense (or strong) your bones are. You may also hear it called a DEXA scan. Bone density scans are often used to diagnose or assess your risk of osteoporosis, a health condition that weakens bones and makes them more likely to break.

TEST OUTCOMES
  • Complimentary Doctors Consultation
  • Radiologist Report
PATIENT PREPARATION
  • Stop Calcium Supplements 6 hours before the procedure.
  • Wear loose-fitting or comfortable clothing
  • Remove metal objects like jewelry, hairpins, or hearing aids
