XtremeCT

The new dimension in Bone Quality Assessment


XtremeCT is specially designed to perform ground-breaking high-resolution pQCT studies at distal tibia and radius of humans for clinical in vivo assessment of osteoporosis.

A low X-ray dose allows regular follow-up measurements and powerful true-3D evaluation software automatically matches cortical and trabecular bone regions to previous measurements for direct comparison of density and structure characteristics.
