Exceptional precision and accuracy High-definition digital DEXA detectors improve fracture detection and help visualize abdominal aortic calcifications Speed and image quality: this imaging technology captures the hip and spine with as fast as 10-second regional scanning time Superb visualization: this exclusive design uses a high-resolution detector array paired with true fan-beam linear acquisition geometry Consistency [...]

Early detection of bone loss and monitoring of therapeutic effectiveness Measurement of axial skeletal sites where potential early bone loss may occur, hence improving the early detection rates Highest precision of less than 1% Low radiation dose for patient imaging, yet the imaging has a high resolution

Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is a condition in which the bones become fragile and brittle from reduction of the mineralised material in the bone. It causes an overall weakening of the affected bones and increased risk of fracture. It is a silent progressive disease causing low bone density which leads to enhanced bone fragility. Osteoporosis also leads to [...]
