CT Simulator for
Bone Mineral Analysis
of the Femoral Neck

For research studies
of the femoral neck


Model 005
Features
• Accurately simulates the size, shape and CT density
  of human tissue
• Includes standard femoral neck inserts of varying
  density to permit accurate correlation for
  quantitative studies
• Provides direct measure of calcium hydroxyapatite
   content avoiding the need for extrapolations
• Requires no special software
• Can be used immediately on all whole body CT scanners
• Easy step by step reporting methods
• Technical hot line




Change in trabecular bone mineral content is an early indicator of change in metabolic function. CT, with its superior contrast discrimination, is a major tool in the evaluation of trabecular bone in the central skeleton. All CT scanners require a standard of reference to properly perform quantitative tissue analysis.

The Model 005 takes into account all known variability factors that can adversely affect the use of CT for bone densitometry. The CIRS anthropomorphic phantom design minimizes beam hardening effects and variances associated with scan field position.

The Model 005 is the CT densitometry system to provide a solid epoxy matrix with true calcium hydroxyapatite references. The system provides extremely stable density references and does not require special extrapolations or complex calculations.
