The Achilles EXPII is a bone ultrasonometer that measures ultrasound variables at the heel bone, or calcaneus. It uses these measurements to calculate a Stiffness Index for assessing osteoporotic fracture risk in postmenopausal women.
The Stiffness Index can also be used to follow bone changes over time. Its results contribute to a physician’s skeletal assessment alongside other clinical risk factors.
Listed Item
