GE Achilles Express Ultrasound Bone Densitometer

The GE Achilles Express provides healthcare professionals with a fast, convenient, and radiation-free method for assessing osteoporosis risk. By measuring bone density at the heel, this device offers a valuable preliminary screening tool in a variety of clinical settings.

Its compact and portable design makes it particularly well-suited for primary care offices, women's health clinics, and mobile health screening programs where space is limited or patient transport is a concern. The system's reliance on quantitative ultrasound (QUS) technology eliminates the need for the specialized facilities and certifications required for DXA systems.

• Technology: Utilizes quantitative ultrasound (QUS) for bone assessment.
• Measurement Site: Performs measurements on the calcaneus (heel bone).
• Portability: Compact and easily transportable for use in multiple locations.
• Software: This unit is noted to have software version 4.31.

For clinical procurement teams, the Achilles Express represents an efficient and cost-effective solution to initiate or expand bone health services, enabling early detection of fracture risk without the logistical overhead of traditional densitometry.
