Ultrasound represents the technological heart of the system and stands out for its direct visualization of tissues, the ability to non-invasively quantify muscle and adipose tissue, and the high millimeter precision of measurements. Thanks to automatic segmentation and sensitivity to small changes, it allows for a localized, real-time reading of tissue structures, offering a higher level of detail than other methods used in body composition analysis, such as bioimpedance analysis (BIA), anthropometry, or plycometry.
The choice of the most appropriate method depends on the clinical or professional objective and the time available: the free modality is indicated for targeted and rapid assessments, while the 3- and 5-point protocols allow for more complete and standardized analyses of body composition.
The system returns a structured report that helps the professional interpret the data, relating the main measurements to updated reference values specific to different populations. This approach allows for a more informed, targeted and clinically useful reading of the results.
The software is also constantly updated: depending on the type of subject analyzed, the system automatically adapts using different calculation models and dedicated equations. This allows for an increasingly accurate representation of the individual's actual body composition, progressively improving the system's precision, reliability, and predictive ability.
