• Enhanced Medical Decisions (Cambridge, Massachusetts) reported the launch of the DoubleCheckMD Treatments, a suite of health and medical treatment evaluations for consumers on www.DoubleCheckMD.com.

• Imaging Therapeutics (Redwood City, California) reported FDA clearance to market its OsDx hip bone mineral density (BMD) system. OsDx Hip BMD is a stand-alone X-ray image-processing software system intended to provide an estimate of BMD of the proximal femur using standard antero-posterior hip or pelvis radiographic images. This information may be used by physicians in the assessment of osteoporosis. Imaging Therapeutics' technology permits BMD testing to be performed using any conventional X-ray system because there are far more conventional systems than dual energy X-ray absorptiometers.
