Bone mineral density (BMD) analysis measures bone strength and is primarily used to diagnose osteoporosis. While bones rely on calcium and minerals for structure, density naturally decreases with age. Bone densitometry, typically performed using Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA), uses X-rays to quantify this density. Matsusada Precision offers high-performance X-ray generators and high-voltage power supplies engineered for the precise stability required in bone densitometry systems.
