External computer and printer not required. Saves space and contributes to ease of operation. ESTIMATES BMD, T-SCORE AND Z-SCORE
Sahara is the only ultrasound bone densitometer
that estimates BMD and determines T-scores. Sahara results
can be used to derive Z-scores which are
important for predicting fracture risk.
REDUCED EXAM COST
Increase acceptance by patients and
third-party payers.
LOW COST
Sahara costs less than half the price of a
DXA (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry) bone
densitometer, the "gold standard" of bone densitometry.
