I-Active Life Scientific, Inc. (ALSI) namuhla imemezele ukuthi isiyitholile imvume ye-US Food and Drug Administration i-De Novo ngomshini wayo wokulinganisa amathambo oyisisekelo. Ukuhlola kwe-Bone Score™ kuthatha indlela entsha eyisisekelo yokulinganisa amathambo futhi kusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obusha ukuze kuvivinywe izicubu zethambo. Ingasetshenziswa, kanye nezinye izivivinyo zokuxilonga, ukusiza odokotela bahlanganise ukuqonda okubanzi kwempilo yamathambo esiguli. Imvume yakamuva yase-US ilandela i-CE Mark eYurophu (etholwe ngo-2017) futhi iphawula isinyathelo esibalulekile ekwandiseni amathuluzi atholakalayo kodokotela abaphethe impilo yamathambo.
“Kunomehluko phakathi kokuthi unethambo elingakanani, noma ukuminyana, nokuthi izicubu zethambo lakho zinhle kangakanani, noma izinga lakho. Ngeshwa, ukuhlolwa komtholampilo kwekhwalithi kuhlala 'kuyibhokisi elimnyama'. Ukuhlolwa kwe-Bone Score™ kulinganisa ukuthi izicubu zethambo zimelana kanjani nenselelo engokomzimba, ezingeni eliphephile, le-microscopic, futhi inikeza idatha ebingatholakali ngaphambilini ukuze odokotela bayicabange lapho bephenya ikhwalithi yethambo lesiguli,' kwengeza uDkt. Hansma.
Ukuhlola okuphephile nokungenayo imisebe ehhovisi, i-Bone Score™, ihlukaniswa kwezinye izindlela ze-radiological noma imaging (i-X-ray, i-DEXA ne-CT) ekala ukuminyana kwamaminerali kanye nokwakheka kwamathambo. Kuyindlela engokoqobo, kusetshenziswa idivayisi yenoveli (i-OsteoProbe®), ebalwa njenge-Bone Material Strength index (BMSi) noma i-Bone Score™, futhi inikeza odokotela ulwazi olwalungatholakali ngaphambilini abangalucabangela, kanye nezinye izici, lapho ukuhlola impilo yamathambo esiguli.
