Bone Density Screening is a non-invasive, preliminary assessment designed to evaluate bone health and identify early risk factors associated with Osteoporosis.

Utilizing advanced Dual-Energy technology (as featured in the Pinyuan 500B system), this procedure measures bone mineral density specifically at the wrist or ankle. It serves as an efficient screening tool to monitor bone strength and assess potential risks of bone loss.

Bone Density Screening Procedure (Wrist or Ankle)
