Bindex BI-2 measures apparent cortical bone thickness at the proximal tibia and calculates a Density Index estimating hip bone mineral density. Clinicians use it alongside other risk factors and patient characteristics to assist osteoporosis assessment and fracture risk evaluation.

A handheld ultrasound transducer connects to a computer through USB. Gel couples it to the skin, and the operator holds it perpendicular to the cortical bone at the standardized upper tibial site. Five measurements are taken at each location.
