A bone absorptiometric x-ray system, dual-energy is a medical device assembly used to measure bone mineral density and assess body composition by using two distinct X-ray energy levels. It is commonly employed in clinical settings to evaluate osteoporosis risk, estimate fracture likelihood, and analyze fat distribution through differential photon absorption patterns.
Devices in this category are typically regulated as diagnostic imaging equipment and require compliance with safety and performance standards for radiation-emitting medical devices. They are supplied as integrated systems comprising an X-ray source, detector mechanism, and processing software, and are intended for use by trained healthcare professionals in controlled environments.
