Hello,
This is a self-explanatory little blurb on a hospital website:
Le Service d’Imagerie Médicale de l’Hôpital XXX dispose du plus récent ostéodensitomètre ***biphotonique***, permettant une mesure extrêmement précise de la densité osseuse.
My translation so far is:
The Department of Medical Imaging of XXX hospital operates a latest-generation biphotonic bone densitometer that very accurately measures bone density.
Anyone know for sure if biphotonic is correct? Most references are to biophotonics, but I have been informed by the client that "bi" here really does mean "two".
Any help most appreciated!!

dual energy bone densitometer
If they're talking about the latest technology, this is it.

L’ostéodensitométrie est un examen médical qui permet de mesurer la densité minérale osseuse (DMO). En d’autres termes, il évalue la « solidité » du squelette. Il permet donc d’analyser le risque de fracture ostéoporotique, c’est-à-dire en lien avec une ostéoporose. Réalisé dans un cabinet de radiologie, il est également appelé densitométrie osseuse, absorptiométrie biphotonique voire DEXA, pour Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry. L’examen peut être pratiqué en milieu hospitalier dans un service de radiologie, ou dans un cabinet privé de rhumatologie.

dual photon
Seems to be the standard term.
Note from asker:
| Thank you for your reply. This is a perfectly suitable answer as well, but I simply like the sound of "dual energy" better and it seems every bit if not more common than dual photon. Thanks again. |
