Hologic BMD Ultrasound Bone Densitometer Product Detail
Model: Sahara
With Sahara, there's finally a dry ultrasound modality for bone assessment that is simple, convenient and practical enough for the office-based physician. Ultrasound requires no radiation, improving patient acceptance. A registered x-ray technologist is not required to operate the system.
Just 22 lbs (10 kg), Sahara comes equipped with a built-in handle for portability. The entire space required to perform a bone density test with Sahara, including chair, is less than the footprint of a standard office desk. External computer and printer are not required. The test takes less than one minute to complete. There is nothing faster on the market. Sahara is the only ultrasound bone densitometer that estimates BMD and determines T-scores. Sahara results can be used to derive Z-scores, which are important for predicting fracture risk.
