DEXA bone densitometer STRATOS

for femoral neck examinationfor hip examinationfor lumbar vertebrae examination

Overview
STRATOS is a complete DXA solution for bone health specialists, combining cost-effective and high-performance bone densitometry with body composition analysis. Devices are designed and manufactured in France to prioritise patient comfort and to support clinical assessment and diagnosis.

Product range

• STRATOS: fast pencil beam technology, low X-ray dose, compact version for small rooms.
• STRATOS DR: high-end bone densitometer with 2D Fan Beam technology and a 256-element detector for high-speed scanning and enhanced image quality.

Clinical applications

• Imaging centers
• Rheumatology
• Gynecology
• Women screening
• Endocrinology
• Geriatrics
• Bariatrics
• Nutrition
• Sports medicine
• Fitness centers
• Pediatrics
• Orthopedics

Osteoporosis & fracture risk
The DXA systems provide a comprehensive set of tools for fracture risk assessment and osteoporosis diagnosis through automated calculations and validated clinical metrics:

• Gold standard Bone Mineral Density (BMD), T-score, Z-score
• Hip Structural Analysis (HSA)
• FRAX — 10-year probability of fracture
• Digital Vertebral Assessment (DVA)
• 3D-DXA innovative assessments

Body composition analysis
Large scan area for whole-body assessment with regional tissue separation, delivering detailed composition metrics:

• Fat and lean tissue color mapping, Android/Gynoid ratios
• Metabolic indicators such as Visceral Adipose Tissue (VAT)
• Sarcopenia assessment tools

In-house intuitive software
The integrated software is built for bone health and body composition workflows with features that streamline clinical use:

• Advanced connectivity: full DICOM compatibility for secure PACS integration
• Efficient workflow: fast scanning, simplified patient repositioning, automated analysis and sharing
• Automatic and customisable reports and letters for patients and physicians
• Patient follow-up with trend graphs and comparative analytics
• Multi-user access across workstations for collaborative diagnostics

3D-DXA technology
3D-DXA converts routine BMD images into 3D femur visualisations, separating cortical and trabecular compartments to improve diagnostic accuracy and risk assessment; validated against QCT standards.

Regulatory & notes
STRATOS, STRATOS DR are Class IIb medical device manufactured by APELEM SAS and bear the CE marking. These x-ray bone densitometer are certified in the European Union under Medical Device Regulation 2017/745/EU by SGS BELGIUM NV (CE1639) exclusively for the indication to perform X-ray bone densitometry examinations. Other non-medical uses (orthopedics, bone age, Cobb angle and sarcopenia) ascribed to this device are not within the scope of CE certification, and users should be aware product performance and/or safety has not been evaluated by SGS BELGIUM NV for those purposes. Read the operating instructions carefully. Photos are non-contractual.
