Medgadget brings news of the accuDEXA, an osteoporosis assessment system by Schick Technologies. Simply stick your hand into the unit, follow the on-screen directions, and you’ll have your bone density results in less than 30 seconds—a far less invasive procedure than the usual test. Assuming the temptation to put whatever body part is handy in the machine to test bone density could be overcome, the device would help diagnose osteoporosis early on. The system relies on an ultra-sensitive digital imaging sensor that uses Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) to produce its results.
