Bone Density Software-Upgrade for any X-ray Imaging Device

Delivering a second billable function within the same hardware footprint through a simple software upgrade.

$99 Cash-Pay

Instant bone density report delivered before the patient leaves the room. Cash-pay at the point of use, meaning no coding risk, prior authorisations or reimbursement processing delays.
Risk free financial model with no Provider Fees - billed via pay-per-use or tiered volume pricing models.

Bone Health Vital-Sign

  • Low bone density at the wrist is an independant predictor of central osteoporosis, fracture risk and predisposing conditions.
  • Returns aBMD and T-score, the same biomarkers as DXA.
  • Non-inferior to DXA the wrist.

The Patient Story

See how a CorteX assessment could benefit your patients.

Workflow Integration & Output

The software upgrade is delivered in partnership with your X-ray modality provider. CorteX uses a standard wrist exposure, meaning minimal user training or custom radiation dose considerations.

01

Standard Wrist Exposure

No changes to hardware or imaging geometry and negligable impact on gantry time.

02

Onboard Bone Health Processing

CorteX automatically analyses the image onboard the X-ray modality - no user intervention required and no data ever leaves your facility.

03

Interpretation and Follow Up

Results are provided onscreen and sent to the hospital patient information system. CorteX outputs the same recognised clinical biomarkers as DXA, with a low T-score at the wrist being a predictor of fracture risk and Osteoporosis at the hip and spine.

Bone Density Vital-Sign

Wrist bone density is a vital-sign that can identify patients at risk of chronic bone conditions and their underlying causes early, allowing them to receive the follow up that they need.

1.45X

More Sensitive than Fracture Liaison (FLS)

In pilot at Royal Cornwall Trust (UK), patients presenting without a fracture were 1.45x more likely to be diagnosed with Osteoporosis pre-fracture,

than those referred into Fracture Liaison Services post-fracture.

Individuals aged 50+ presenting without a fracture with a T-score of -3 or lower as determined by Cortex (NIHR Number NIHR207830).

3.29X

Significant Independent Risk Factor

Wrist BMD is a significant, independent predictor of hip and major Osteoporotic fracture, particularly in younger women.

One standard deviation change in wrist BMD increases a 40 year old woman's relative risk of a Major Osteoporotic Fracture by 3.29x.

Validated on an international basis by FRAX. Forearm BMD predicts fracture independently of a FRAX metric matrix loop

>50%

Secondary Cause Prevalence

Over half of pre-menopausal Osteoporosis is secondary Osteoporosis with a predisposing underlying cause.

Complications are frequently tied to diabetes, hyperparathyroidism, celiac disease, or systemic impacts from targeted GLP-1 and chronic glucocorticoid therapies.

About

About

CorteX is Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) developed by IBEX Innovations Ltd. (UK) and is based on a proprietary physics-based causal AI method.

The software has been shown to be non-inferior to DXA, providing the same biomarkers of aBMD and T-score at up to 15x the resolution. The assessment is delivered from a standard wrist exposure.

Protected by 20+ global patents, backed by peer reviewed publications and in clinical use within the NHS.
