The STRATOS
The best solution for your everyday practice
The STRATOS has established itself as the complete DXA solution for bone
health specialists seeking a cost-effective, powerful and fast solution for
osteoporosis diagnosis and fracture risk assessment.
Combining the very best in innovation and
proven know-how, from technology to design
to the software interface, the STRATOS was
developed to enhance practitioners’ work
while making it easier at the same time.
The STRATOS takes the best of the Pencil Beam technology and
significantly improves examination time and image quality.

Functions
Beyond measuring bone density, the STRATOS is a versatile device with a wide
range of applications such as fracture risk assessment, prosthesis follow-up and
weight management.
Applications
 Osteoporosis diagnosis
Based on all relevant multisite examinations hip, dual hip, spine,
forearm, as well as whole body and vertebral assessment.
 Fracture risk assessment: based on automatic tools such as:
-The FRAX tool (developed by the W.H.O.) to evaluate
patients’ fracture risk.
-Morphometric tools help assess fracture risk using
morphological parameters such as angle and distance.
-Digital Vertebral Assessment (DVA): for lateral assessment of
fractures.
 Body composition* (for weight management)
Bone%, Lean%, Fat%.
 Pediatric module
Following childrens’ growth
Skeletal age comparison
 Orthopedic module for femur, knee, lateral knee as well as
elbow, shoulder, forearm, foot, hand and spine.
Software


User friendly, ergonomic and intuitive interface
-Improves user conditions and increases

-Automatic ROI, interface color selection
Accessing, storing and recalling data has never been so easy.
All these functions can be done with the simple click of a button.
