MetriScan Specifications
MetriScan uses radiographic absorptiometry (RA) to estimate relative phalangeal bone density of the three middle fingers. With RA a high resolution radiographic image of a patient's phalanges is taken. A computerized analysis is made comparing the intensity of the image with a reference wedge embedded under the hand plate.

Validation
This method was validated in one of the largest epidemiological studies in the bone density field. Phalangeal bone density testing was performed on 3481 women, who we than followed for sixteen years. The study concluded that phalangeal bone densitometry is a significant predictor of future hip fractures.

Radiation dose is less than 5% of a dental x-ray
Precision error = 1.1%
Automatic calibration check
Small footprint: 16" x 16" x 16"
