The DexaCare G4 is the new, mobile bone densitometer from Osteometer. It performs measurements of the distal forearm in a matter of minutes while the patient remains fully clothed and comfortable.
The DexaCare G4 is the fourth generation densitometer from Osteometer. It is based on the proven dependability of it’s predecessors, and has been further improved by reducing e.g. weight and size.
User friendliness has always been one of Osteometer’s focuses when developing new products. Our Customer Focus Groups do their best to make the operation of the unit as simple and straight-forward as possible.
The DexaCare G4 performs the bone density test quickly, then calculates T- and Z-scores and depicts the result on a graph, comparing the test result to the reference population.
