The University of Eastern Finland\u00b4s KMRU Research Unit<\/a> has functioned since 2006 as the first central laboratory for bone densitometry research (DXA) in Finland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bone density measurements are used as a research method in various multicentre trials, which are led mainly by pharmaceutical companies. Coordination as well as high-quality and centralised analysis of these measurements is crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Surgery Unit at the University of Eastern Finland has a long tradition of using bone density measurements in research, and this expertise has been utilised in our services within the Clinical Research Centre\u00b4s KMRU Research Unit<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service includes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Transfer and organisation of electronic measurement data from research centres;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Analysis of measurements using Lunar measurement software, expert reports on measurements (e.g. correct performance and quality assurance of measurement, compliance with inclusion criteria);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Backup,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Recycling of bone densitometry phantoms in research centres;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Analysis of phantom data and quality assurance of measuring equipment, as well as<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Training of personnel carrying out bone density measurements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
