A bone absorptiometric ultrasound system is a medical device assembly that uses ultrasound waves to measure bone density and related health indicators. It works by sending ultrasound beams into the body and analyzing the echoes to estimate bone mineral density, assess fracture risk, or evaluate subcutaneous fat levels.
These systems are typically regulated as diagnostic imaging devices and are supplied as integrated units combining transducers, electronics, software, displays, and patient positioning components. They are intended for clinical use in settings such as clinics or hospitals where non-invasive bone health assessment is needed.
