Amid the wave of medical equipment upgrades, dual-energy X-ray bone densitometers, as the “gold standard” for diagnosing osteoporosis, have always been a topic of close concern for medical institutions regarding their radiation protection. The construction cost of traditional lead rooms is high and the construction period is long. The dual-energy X-ray bone densitometer of Pinyuan Medical, which adopts a fully enclosed lead protection structure and the third-generation cone-beam imaging technology, provides a safe detection solution for medical institutions without the need for lead rooms.
I. Lead Room Construction: The Dual Predicament of High Cost and Low Efficiency
According to the “Hygienic Protection Standards for Medical X-ray Diagnosis”, traditional lead rooms must meet the standards of a single side length of 2.5 meters and a protective lead equivalent of ≥2mm. Take a 30-square-meter lead room as an example. The cost of lead plate materials alone is as high as 80,000 to 120,000 yuan. If barium sulfate coating is used for protection, although the cost can be reduced by 30%, the protection life is only 5 to 8 years. What is more worthy of attention is that the construction of lead rooms requires the simultaneous configuration of door machine interlocking systems, ventilation devices and radiation monitoring equipment, with the overall cost generally ranging from 150,000 to 300,000 yuan.
In the field of medical testing, radiation safety and cost control have always been the two key elements that medical institutions at all levels have to balance when introducing bone density testing equipment. The Pinyuan dual-energy X-ray bone densiometer has been tested and certified by professional institutions. Its radiation dose fully complies with relevant national safety standards and is even far below the standard limit. This enables medical institutions at all levels to build an impregnable safety line for operators and examinees without having to construct lead rooms.
Second, precise detection provides reliable basis for clinical diagnosis
Accurate test results are an important basis for clinical diagnosis and are crucial for the early detection and timely treatment of bone diseases such as osteoporosis. The Pinyuan dual-energy X-ray bone densitometer adopts dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), which is currently recognized internationally as the gold standard for bone density testing. By emitting X-rays of two different energies, the Pinyuan dual-energy X-ray bone densitometer can accurately distinguish between bones and soft tissues, precisely measure bone mineral content and bone density, and provide doctors with detailed and accurate test reports.
In terms of operation, the Pinyuan dual-energy X-ray bone densitometer fully takes into account the actual needs of medical institutions and the usage habits of operators. Its design is simple and clear, and the operation interface is friendly. Even operators without rich experience can quickly get started. At the same time, it also has the functions of data storage and transmission, which enables doctors to access patients’ test history records at any time, providing strong support for patients’ long-term health management.
Third, widely applied to meet the needs of different medical institutions
For large general hospitals, bone density testing is one of the important examination items in departments such as orthopedics and endocrinology. The high-precision detection and rapid report generation functions of Pinyuan dual-energy X-ray bone densitometer can meet the testing needs of a large number of patients in hospitals and improve the working efficiency of departments. Meanwhile, its lead-free design also saves the hospital’s space resources and provides more flexibility for the installation of other medical equipment and the layout of departments in the hospital.
For small and medium-sized hospitals and community health service centers, they often face the predicament of limited funds and tight space. Traditional bone density testing equipment is difficult to be widely applied under such conditions due to the high construction cost of lead rooms and the complex operation process. The Pinyuan dual-energy X-ray bone density meter has brought them an economical, convenient and efficient bone density detection solution.
The Pinyuan dual-energy X-ray bone density meter, with its unconventional design, precise detection, simple operation and broad application prospects, provides an ideal bone density detection solution for medical institutions. It not only solves the problem of high costs in building lead rooms, but also improves the efficiency and quality of medical services, safeguarding the health of patients.
