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.
Listed Item
Bindex measurement system kit. Packed in a case containing one Bindex BI-2 device and one Bindex Measure BI-41. Compartment for gel bottle included.
Interpretation Scope
The Density Index thresholds are validated for Caucasian and Hispanic women aged 50 to 90. A physician or trained health professional under physician supervision operates the system. The kit includes a measurement stick, with ultrasound gel optional.
