What is the Omnipath® – Axial Transmission Technology?
Sunlight’s patented axial transmission technology, Omnipath®, is based on the measurement of the speed of ultrasonic waves (SOS) propagating along the bone. Omnipath enables measurement along the bone’s maximal strength axis, eliminating soft tissue effects and providing a more accurate measurement.
