More and more physical examination centers are choosing ultrasonic bone densitometers, mainly due to their unique advantages in physical examination scenarios, which can precisely match the “screening attributes” and “population coverage needs” of physical examinations. Specifically, it can be analyzed from the following aspects
First, it has higher security and is applicable to a wider range of people
The principle of the ultrasonic bone densitometer is to penetrate the bones through ultrasonic waves (mainly detecting the tibia, radius and other parts), and determine bone density by the speed and attenuation of the sound waves. The entire process is radiation-free.
This feature makes it suitable for all kinds of people, including
Pregnant women and children sensitive to radiation;
Elderly people who need regular monitoring (to avoid repeated radiation exposure);
Routine screening for healthy individuals (without concerns about radiation risks).
Ultrasonic bone densitometers are suitable for people of all ages, from children to the elderly. Whether it is monitoring children’s bone development, assessing bone mass maintenance in young and middle-aged people, or screening for osteoporosis in the elderly, ultrasonic bone densitometers can play a significant role, meeting the diverse testing needs of physical examination centers and enhancing the coverage and accessibility of services.
Second, it has a low cost and is more suitable for the operational needs of physical examination centers
Physical examination centers (especially small and medium-sized institutions) are highly sensitive to the “cost-effectiveness” of equipment, and ultrasonic bone densitometers have a significant cost advantage:
Equipment purchase cost: The price of ultrasonic bone density meters is relatively low, reducing the initial capital investment pressure on physical examination centers.
Maintenance cost: No protection, calibration and other expenses related to radiation sources, and daily maintenance is simpler.
Venue requirements: Pinyuan ultrasonic bone density meters come in various models, including trolley type and portable type. There is no need for a dedicated radiation protection machine room, which saves the space cost of the physical examination center (especially suitable for institutions with tight venues).
Third, it is easy to operate and more efficient
One of the key demands of the physical examination center is to “efficiently complete batch screening”, and the ultrasonic bone density meter is more in line with this requirement in operation:
Low operation threshold: No need for professional radiologists. Ordinary medical staff can get started after simple training, reducing reliance on highly qualified personnel.
Fast detection speed: The single detection time is short and the process is simple (for example, for tibia/radius detection, only the detection area needs to be exposed), which can quickly complete batch screening of people and avoid queuing congestion during peak physical examination periods.
The result interpretation is intuitive: The automated analysis system directly generates indicators such as bone density T value and Z value, facilitating quick determination of screening results such as “normal bone mass, reduced bone mass, and osteoporosis”.
Four. Meet the “screening attribute” of the physical examination
The main purpose of physical examinations is to detect risks at an early stage. Ultrasonic bone density testing
It can quickly identify high-risk groups for bone mass reduction and osteoporosis (such as T value ≤-1.0).
To provide guidance for further subsequent examinations (such as recommending DXA confirmation for high-risk individuals).
The key to a physical examination lies in conducting an initial screening and stratification of health risks, so as to promptly identify potential problems and guide further attention. The ultrasonic bone densitometer can quickly assess the bone health status of the examinee during this process, providing a direction for subsequent health intervention.
The ultrasonic bone densitometer, with its features of “no radiation, low cost, easy operation and wide application”, perfectly meets the main demands of physical examination centers for “large-scale screening, full coverage of the population and efficient and low-cost operation”.
