Mindways Software has launched a new version of its CT bone densitometry software - QCT PRO.

Mindways QCT PRO software provides bone densitometry reports for both spine and hip from a low dose abdominal CT scan with a dose comparable to a mammogram.

Spine measurements are made in the trabecular bone volume only and give sensitivity to BMD change and these BMD measurements are also used in pharmaceutical clinical trials.

Mindways CEO Keenan Brown said QCT PRO provides a cost-effective means of adding bone density service to CT scanners distributed throughout the country in large and small communities alike.
