Individualization of Treatment
Table 2.6 Description of the Time Intervals for Repeated
Measurement for Each of the Skeletal Sites
(TAM - Trend Assessment Margin; LSC- Least Significant
Change; TAI - Trend Assessment Interval; MTI - Monitoring
Time Interval)
As can be seen from the table, trends within the early post-
menopausal years could be assessed in 2-3 years at any skeletal
site. More than three years are needed in order to establish the
change with a higher statistical significance. However, bone
changes which are caused by positive or negative intervention
could generate, if effective, larger response rates compared to
the normal average population changes detailed in Table 2.6,
thus shortening the monitoring time intervals.
2.8 Individualization of Treatment
Omnisense measures the Speed of Sound (SOS) in m/sec of an
ultrasound wave that propagates along the bone. These results
may be used by the physician, along with other factors such as
laboratory test results, radiographs, life style, and family history
in the diagnosis of osteoporosis and other conditions leading to
reduced bone strength and bone fragility.
The following detailed information is intended to guide the
physician on how to interpret the Omnisense results and its
relationship to the currently accepted densitometry methods.
