Bone Densitometry Physics Testing

Contact us for testing under the OAR CBMD program.

The field of radiography, particularly in bone densitometry, relies heavily on precision, consistency, and adherence to established protocols. As part of the OAR (Ontario Association of Radiologists) CBMD (Canadian Bone Mineral Density) program, bone densitometry physics testing plays a pivotal role in maintaining the highest standards in diagnostic accuracy and patient safety.

Under the CBMD program, each DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) unit must undergo comprehensive testing every five years. This essential requirement ensures that imaging systems continue to deliver reliable results, enabling practitioners to accurately diagnose and monitor conditions like osteoporosis.

Your dedicated physicist provides more than just periodic testing; they are your partner in maintaining the integrity of your imaging systems. Their expertise ensures:

  • Immediate Response to Shewhart Chart Failures: Identifying and addressing quality control issues promptly to minimize downtime and ensure compliance.
  • Precision Updates: Regular recalibration and precision checks to maintain the accuracy of your DEXA units, particularly during software updates or procedural adjustments.
  • Seamless Equipment Transitions: Guidance and support during equipment upgrades or replacements to ensure smooth integration into clinical workflows.

These measures not only uphold the standards required by the CBMD program but also enhance the quality of patient care through accurate diagnostics.

Are your DEXA units up to date with their five-year physics testing requirement? Partner with with Xspect to ensure compliance, optimize performance, and provide the best care for your patients.
