Spire Roding Hospital, UK, part of the private healthcare group Spire, now offers the opportunity of a health control with osteoporosis detection, using Sectra’s patented online service, Sectra OneScreen. The online service identifies people at risk of getting osteoporotic fractures.
After the four breast images included in the mammography examination, an image of the hand is acquired using the same radiology equipment. Since the woman is already standing by the modality, this adds no more than 30 seconds to the examination time. With the standard x-ray image of the hand, the women¹s bone health (Bone Mineral Density, BMD) is analyzed using Sectra’s online service.
With Sectra’s service, patients at high risk of fracture can be identified and preventive care can be initiated. Additionally, Sectra’s service helps clinics identify women who should have their bone health (Bone Mineral Density, BMD) further investigated using a DXA scanner.
