HOLOGIC HORIZON DXA SYSTEM BONE DENSITY

The Horizon DXA system has features for a complete fracture risk assessment on top of an advanced body composition evaluation. This unit is the latest in densitometry technology and the dual energy X-ray does more than just measure bone density.  The Horizon DXA system is intended to help evaluate osteoporosis, obesity and cardiovascular disease; the three most major health conditions.

Features:

• Single energy femur exam
• Vertebral fracture assessment
• Abdominal aortic calcification
• Advanced Body Composition assessment
• High-resolution ceramic digital detectors array featuring ultra fast, high output, low noise ceramic detectors that provide better bone mapping and images.
• High frequency dual energy X-ray source that is smaller and lighter than previous generations.
• Dynamic Calibration system, delivering real-time pixel-by-pixel calibration through bone and tissue equivalents for greater long-term measurement stability.
• OnePass single-sweep scanning designed to eliminate beam overlap errors and image distortion found in rectilinear acquisition techniques that delivers superb image quality and precision.
