Diagnostic QA SolutionsBioClinica’s “Bona Fide Phantom” (BFP)(1), is a quality control tool for Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) instruments, which features an acrylic-embedded calcium hydroxyapatite (CHA) step-wedge. Advanced design features make it the best choice for assessing DEXA instrument stability. You can successfully use the BFP on all mainstream DEXA instruments.
The BFP offers a range of densities (0.7 – 1.5 g/cm2), to verify instrument function over the clinically relevant range, not just at a single “healthy” BMD. Linearity of BMD over the clinically range is critical for full instrument evaluation. Our phantom uses a CHA insert for direct assessment of bone density accuracy, as required for cross-calibration phantoms used in clinical trials.
