OsteoSys SONOST 2000 Ultrasound Bone Densitometer User’s Manual

The SONOST 2000 is an ultrasound bone densitometer that measures the density of the calcaneus (heel bone) using ultrasound waves. This device provides a quick and easy way to assess bone mineral density, which is essential for diagnosing and monitoring osteoporosis. It takes about 15 seconds to measure the density and to display the shape of ultrasonic wave by computing simulation on the monitor.

Frequently Answers and Questions

What is the purpose of the SONOST 2000?

The SONOST 2000 is an ultrasound bone densitometer, a device that measures bone mineral density (BMD) using ultrasound waves. It is used to diagnose and monitor osteoporosis.

How does the SONOST 2000 work?

The SONOST 2000 emits ultrasound waves through the calcaneus (heel bone) and measures the speed of sound (SOS) and the frequency-dependent attenuation of the sound waves (BUA). Combining these measurements, it generates a clinical measure called Bone Quality Index (BQI), which is a good indicator of bone health.

What are the benefits of using the SONOST 2000?

The SONOST 2000 is a non-invasive, fast, and easy-to-use device. It is a valuable tool for diagnosing and monitoring osteoporosis.

How often should the SONOST 2000 be calibrated?

The SONOST 2000 should be calibrated daily using the QC phantom provided with the device.

What is the Bone Quality Index (BQI)?

The Bone Quality Index (BQI) is a clinical measure that combines the speed of sound (SOS) and the frequency-dependent attenuation of the sound waves (BUA) to provide a comprehensive assessment of bone health.
