The CUBAClinical is a patented "dry" Ultrasonic Bone
Sonometry System. By placing the calcaneus (heel bone) between
two directly contacting Ultrasonic Transducers, rapid measurements
of Broadband Ultrasonic Attenuation (BUA) are obtained. The
calcaneus is a bone site of proven sensitivity to osteoporotic
change. The CUBAClinical takes an ultrasound measurement through
the patient’s heel. The patient is seated with the foot accurately
positioned into the footwell, using the correct positioning
insert. The foot and lower part of the leg are secured using
two Velcro® straps. Ultrasound gel is applied to the face of
the silicone pads and to the sides of the heel to provide acoustic
coupling. The silicone pads are brought into contact with each
side of the patient’s heel by means of a motorized mechanism.
Inaudible sound waves are transmitted from one of the transducers
through the heel and received by the other transducer. Quantitative
parameters describing the attenuation in the heel are measured.
