7000S/8000S is a device for measuring
Speed of Sound. The term
SOS measurement
, or simply
mea-
surement
, will refer to the general procedure which results in an
SOS value for a particular skeletal site. The SOS value obtained
is called a measurement
result
.
The actual application of a probe to a skeletal site, and move-
ment of the probe over the site to acquire SOS signals is called
a
scan
. The scan movement is repeated continuously until
Omnisense indicates that it has recorded an SOS value. This
process is called a
measurement cycle
. To ensure consistency
and reliability, each SOS result is obtained by averaging results
from at least three measurement cycles.
In summary, the site is scanned repeatedly to complete a mea-
surement cycle. The examiner conducts a number of measure-
ment cycles; each cycle yields an intermediate SOS value. The
intermediate values obtained from three cycles are combined to
yield the final SOS measurement result for the site.
The manner in which the scan is conducted for a specific skele-
tal site is called a
method
or
methodology
. This includes correct
positioning of the patient and limb to be scanned, the choice of
probe, the way the probe is held, the type of movement and the
direction and speed of that movement.
