Clinical study in Sweden in 5 clinics shows very high accuracy. The result show that 95% of a group of patients (women 55+) that has been tested as "at risk" with Jaw-x also are measured as osteoporosis/osteopenia with DEXA.
Scientific study on men with Jaw-X PANO

Seminar in Stockholm
April 23, 2007
Today we had a number of prominent guests that gave lectures: Dr. Christina Lindh (Malmo Hogskola), Prof. Keith Horner (University of Manchester), Dr. Hugh Devlin (University of Manchester), MD PhD Mattias Lorentzon (Sahlgrenska Universitetssjukhuset), and Maj Ader (Center for Health care and analysis, County of Vastra Gotaland).
The Image Management Software DentalEye is the first linked Imaging Software. As we have an open view on cooperation we will give linking instructions to all Imaging Software manufacturers. The Link makes it easy to export an image as well as patient information from the Imaging Software to Jaw-x.
Jaw-x IO
Febr. 2007
The first Jaw-x IO version is ready and works well, it is quick to learn and to use. A user calls in and reports that she measured a patient and detected Osteoporosis, when the patient heard that she remembered that she was already diagnosed at the hospital. Even though we have done some serious testing on 103 images with a known diagnosis this was a report that told us that it works in reality.
First training
Febr. 16, 2007
Fifteen enthusiastic users are trained in the use of Jaw-x as well as in Bone physiology and pathology, bone disease, treatment and available medication. From this day the Clinical Test starts were the dental practices measure patients that agree to participate. The patients with risk detected will be referred to Medical Care for DXA measure, which will be reported back to the dentist, and treatment.

Meeting with University of Manchester
Dec. 21, 2006
We went over to Manchester to discuss a cooperation around their method to detect Osteoporosis by measuring the width of the cortical bone on a Panoramic dental X-ray. We realized that we could easily use our existing Jaw-x platform to provide a user interface for the University's method that would take their method to the market. We all agreed that it makes sense to cooperate and we decided to start with Clinical Tests in Sweden where the raw core software from the scientists will be used. The plan is to provide Jaw-x PANO which measures on a Panoramic image beside our existing Jaw-x IO which measures on an intraoral apical image.
Jaw-x Website

Swedental in Stockholm

The Method and the research it is based on was presented in a seminar called "To detect boneloss with digital X-ray - a measure for dentistry!" Ass.professor Christina Lindh presents the findings from the European research project "Osteodent", where the main conclusion is that there is a proven correlation between boneloss and the bone-structure in the jaw.
