In the current era of continuous advancement in medical technology, dual-energy X-ray bone densitometers, as the “gold standard” for diagnosing osteoporosis, play a crucial role in safeguarding bone health. Its precise detection capability is of great significance for early diagnosis, therapeutic effect evaluation and fracture risk prediction.
Dual-energy X-ray bone densitometer Dexa Pro-I
Working principle
The Pinyuan dual-energy X-ray bone densitometer Dexa Pro-I employs dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The device emits X-ray beams of two different energies, low-energy and high-energy, to simultaneously irradiate the human bone area. Because the absorption degree of minerals such as calcium in bones varies with X-rays of different energies, by measuring the attenuation degree of X-rays of different energies after passing through bones, computers can precisely calculate the mineral content of bones, that is, bone mineral density (BMD). This principle lays a solid foundation for the precise detection of bone density.
Professional advantages
1. High accuracy and precision: Its measurement results have extremely high accuracy and repeatability, providing reliable basis for clinical diagnosis and subsequent treatment, and helping doctors accurately assess the bone health status of patients.
2. Low radiation dose: Suitable for people who need long-term monitoring or repeated assessment, it reduces potential risks during the detection process.
3. Simple and fast operation: The entire examination process usually only takes a few minutes. Patients do not need to make special preparations and it is easy to accept, which greatly improves the testing efficiency and the medical experience of patients.

Clinical application
Early diagnosis: It can promptly detect bone health issues in the early stage of osteoporosis, when bone mass has not yet significantly decreased and patients have not yet shown obvious symptoms. For instance, for high-risk groups of osteoporosis such as postmenopausal women and elderly men, regular dual-energy X-ray bone density tests can promptly detect changes in bone density, providing the possibility for early intervention, effectively delaying the progression of osteoporosis, and reducing the risk of fractures.
2. Therapeutic effect evaluation: It can be used in the treatment of osteoporosis to assess the therapeutic effect. After patients receive drug treatment or other intervention measures, they should undergo regular dual-energy X-ray bone density tests. By comparing the changes in bone density before and after treatment, doctors can accurately determine whether the treatment plan is effective and adjust the treatment strategy in a timely manner.
3. Fracture risk prediction: Bone density is one of the important indicators for predicting fracture risk. The lower the bone density value measured by the dual-energy X-ray bone densitometer, the higher the risk of fracture for the patient. By taking into account factors such as the patient’s age, gender, fracture history, and family history, doctors can comprehensively assess the patient’s fracture risk, providing a basis for formulating personalized prevention and treatment plans. For patients with a higher risk of fractures, more proactive intervention measures can be taken to reduce the risk of fractures.
