Revolutionizing Bone Health:  Portable Dual-Energy X-ray Bone Densitometer for Safe, Accurate Screening


As osteoporosis becomes a rising concern in aging populations, the need for safe, fast, and efficient bone density testing is more crucial than ever. Our A3 Portable Ultrasound Bone Densitometer offers an ideal solution for hospitals, clinics, and mobile diagnostic services.


Why Bone Density Testing Matters More Than Ever

Osteoporosis is a major public health concern, especially with the aging global population. As bones lose mass and strength, the risk of fractures—especially in the hip, spine, and wrist—increases dramatically. According to WHO, fractures due to osteoporosis lead to 80% disability and up to 50% mortality within a year.

Traditional bone density testing methods include:

·         Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)

·         Quantitative CT (QCT)

·         Ultrasound densitometry

While DXA is considered the gold standard, it requires radiation, costly setup, and trained staff. That's where portable ultrasound BMD devices come in.


Early bone mineral density (BMD) testing is the most effective method to prevent complications through timely diagnosis and treatment. That’s where advanced technologies like the A3 Portable Dual-Energy X-ray Bone Densitometer make a difference.



Introducing the A3 Portable Dual-Energy X-ray Bone Densitometer

Advanced Dual-Energy X-ray Technology

The A3 Bone Densitometer leverages third-generation cone beam DEXA technology, ensuring accurate, repeatable, and safe testing. Designed for forearm measurement, it avoids common errors found in spine or hip scanning due to calcification or bone deformation.


Key Features and Benefits

·         Radiation-Free Testing: Uses ultrasound instead of X-rays

·         High Accuracy: Up to 99.2% precision and 99.7% repeatability

·         Fast Results: Measurement cycle under 5 seconds

·         User-Friendly Interface: Easy operation for non-specialist staff

·         Compact Design: Ideal for mobile clinics, screening events, and home visits

Safe, Low-Dose Radiation

Extremely low dose exposure

Equivalent to 1/200 of standard X-ray or 20 minutes of sunlight.


Double shielding design

Only the forearm is exposed; surrounding body parts and staff are fully protected.

This innovative approach not only prioritizes patient safety but also enhances the overall experience for both patients and healthcare providers. With the ability to conduct tests quickly and accurately, medical professionals can make informed decisions without unnecessary delays.


Remote operation: With a 1.5–3.0 meter separation between console and scanner, no shielding room is needed.


Enhanced Patient Comfort 

- **Non-Invasive Procedure**: The ultrasound method is gentle and does not require any invasive techniques, making it more comfortable for patients. 

- **Immediate Feedback**: Patients receive instant results, allowing for timely discussions about their health and any necessary next steps. 


Versatile Applications 

- **Wide Range of Uses**: This technology is suitable for various applications, including routine screenings, sports medicine assessments, and monitoring chronic conditions. 

- **Adaptable to Different Settings**: Whether in a hospital, clinic, or at home, the device can be easily transported and set up, ensuring accessibility for all patients. 


Cost-Effective Solution 

- **Reduced Healthcare Costs**: By minimizing the need for more expensive imaging techniques, this ultrasound solution can help lower overall healthcare expenses. 

- **Efficient Resource Utilization**: With its quick testing capabilities, healthcare facilities can optimize their resources and serve more patients effectively. 

In summary, this advanced ultrasound technology represents a significant leap forward in diagnostic imaging. By combining safety, accuracy, and convenience, it not only improves patient outcomes but also streamlines the workflow for healthcare providers. As the medical field continues to evolve, such innovations will play a crucial role in enhancing the quality of care delivered to patients everywhere.


Clinical Accuracy and Efficiency

·         Precision rate ≥99.2%, repeatability ≥99.7%

·         Scan time ≤5 seconds, ideal for mass screening

·         Pre-calibrated software with T and Z-score outputs for WHO-standard diagnosis


This remarkable technology not only enhances the speed and precision of diagnostics but also ensures that healthcare professionals can focus more on patient care rather than technical complexities. The ability to achieve a precision rate of over 99% means that clinicians can trust the results, leading to more accurate diagnoses and timely interventions.

Moreover, the quick scan time of under five seconds is particularly beneficial in settings where time is of the essence, such as emergency rooms or during mass screening events. This efficiency allows for a higher patient throughput, reducing wait times and improving overall patient satisfaction.


The pre-calibrated software, which provides T and Z-score outputs, simplifies the diagnostic process by aligning with WHO standards. This feature not only aids in accurate assessments but also ensures that healthcare providers can easily interpret results, making it easier to communicate findings to patients and other medical professionals.


Clinical Application Across Departments

Endocrinology & Geriatrics

A3 DEXA is highly applicable in diagnosing osteoporosis (OP), especially in elderly patients and postmenopausal women. It assists in early detection, monitors treatment, and reduces fracture risk.

Orthopedics & Sports Medicine

Ideal for assessing bone metabolism diseases such as osteogenesis imperfecta, rickets, osteopetrosis, and more. Useful for pre-operative evaluation and sports injury prevention.

Health Examination Centers

·         Perfect for yearly BMD checkups in at-risk populations (men >50, postmenopausal women, athletes, teens)

·         No radiation hazard, requires minimal space, ideal for mobile or community screening
