Summary

Bone Density Evaluation by means of the Ultrasound Technology Named Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry (REMS) in Comparison With DXA Technique.

Clinical Center involved in the study:IRCCS Orthopedic institute Galeazzi - Sant'Ambrogio The clinical study will evaluate the intra- and inter-operator repeatability of the REMS,(Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) ultrasound diagnostic technology implemented in the EchoStation device (Echolight Spa, Lecce) and the diagnostic accuracy in comparison with DXA (used as standard reference).

Conditions

  • Osteoporosis Diagnosis

Interventions

DEVICE

Ultrasound examination with REMS technology

The proposed study is defined as interventional because it introduces an ultrasound examination in the standard clinical routine. The diagnostic approach does not vary during the study and the prescription of any therapeutic treatment is performed on the basis of the conventional DXA diagnosis. This ultrasound examination does not involve additional risks for the patient with the benefit of not using ionizing radiation; it lasts only few minutes and can be performed without moving the patient from the same bed on which he is already positioned for DXA examination.
