Early Treatment is the best Treatment
The speed and simplicity of the exam brings convenience to the operator, and comfort to the patient. Its cost-effectiveness makes it possible for all doctors to offer this essential procedure to at-risk patients -- even before early symptoms manifest.

Proven Technology, Easy Diagnosis -- In Your Office
The compact size of the accuDexa enables the exam to take place in your office -- not at an unfamiliar, off-site location. The fact that there is no need for the removal of garments or the application of gels, results in faster and more comfortable exams. A patented, ultra-sensitive digital imaging sensor provides BMD assessment in seconds, using Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA), the industry standard for assessing BMD.

Operator Simplicity
After placing the patient's hand in the unit, just follow a simple set of commands in the view screen and you have the results in 30 seconds.

Reliable Results
The machine assesses the phalanx of the middle finger. This BMD value is a relative indicator of bone density elsewhere in the body. AccuDEXA’s BMD estimates can also be used as an aid to the physician in determining fracture risk.  Phalangeal density tests have shown in studies with Radiographic Absorptiometry to be more predictive than both forearm and spine BMD tests in predicting vertebral deformity.

      accuDexa Facts:

     • Ease of use - Intuitive design, quick and easy navigation through on screen prompts and menus.
     • Small Footprint - Requires less that 0.6 meter of counter space and weighs less that 32 kgs.
     • Low radiation - Effective radiation to the patient is a low 0.0003 uSv, just 1/150,000th of a chest X-ray.
     • High Precision - Patient precision error is less than 1%.
     • Track bone changes in patients – it’s so precise, it can detect small fluctuations in bone density.
     • Maintenance free - No routine maintenance required.
     • Highly correlated with other proven technologies
       Bone mineral content, assessed by accuDEXA, correlated strongly (0.80 <r< 0.94) with bone mineral
      content of the hand and forearm regions assessed by DXA, SXA, and RA.

accuDEXA uses the best technology
For BMD assessment,  accuDEXA uses DEXA technology, the gold standard in bone densitometry.

Cost Effective
accuDEXA is a highly affordable BMD assessment system. Medicare ($35-$50) and most private insurance companies ($75) currently reimburse, giving potential for quick return on investment. accuDEXA's ease of use and short test time will help attract new patients.

Increased quality of care
accuDEXA enables physicians to comply with National Osteoporosis Testing recommendations, and helps manage periodic osteoporosis screening for at-risk patients.

Low Radiation
Scatter to the operator is only 1/15,000th of the weekly radiation exposure limit. Patient exposure is 0.0003 uSv or 1/150,000th of a typical chest x-ray.

Clinically Proven
The accuDEXA analyzes the finger, a site with over 50 years of clinical acceptance. accuDEXA's low precision error (<1%) allows for the detection of changes over time.

Ease of use
accuDEXA's finger measurement procedure requires no messy creams or gels, and the patient does not need to remove any garments in order to take the test. The scan time is less than ten seconds, and the overall exam can be completed in two minutes. With its touchscreen front panel, accuDEXA is completely self contained and does not require an external computer.
