More than 50 million U.S. residents are 65 or older, and that number is growing.¹ As our population continues to mature, vital health screenings for age-related conditions like fractures and osteoporosis will often be considered.
Bone Density Scanners / DEXA Scanners examine bone density strength and may provide valuable health insights, allowing you to monitor bone loss over time, and prevent future fractures. Henry Schein Medical features the Hologic® line of Bone Densitometers, specifically designed to provide powerful images, clear answers, and fracture risk assessments.
Hologic® Bone Densitometers
Osteoporosis is detectable and treatable. And, whether you are a large hospital or small office, testing is safe and noninvasive. Hologic bone densitometry systems offer you a single platform to support a wide range of patients over a lifetime of care.
HorizonThe Horizon DEXA (DXA) System offers a multi-element detector array that incorporates the same high-definition technology used in modern CT devices. Capture highly detailed images you can trust – even when imaging large, obese patients. With its low-noise detectors, the Horizon DEXA (DXA) provides the power to assess an expanded range of clinical conditions with speed and precision. Hologic’s detector array also works in concert with a new high-capacity X-ray generator to increase heat-load capacity for longer life — with no cool-down time. Not only does this help increase patient throughput, but it also improves image quality. The Horizon DEXA (DXA) System’s remarkable, high-resolution images are designed to enrich lives — yours and your patients.
Features:
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
DEXA and DXA are acronyms that both refer to Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
A DEXA Scanner uses low level X-rays to measure bone density and mineral content. These scans are often used to help diagnose osteoporosis within the hips, wrists, or spine.
A DEXA Scan takes about 25 minutes to perform.
A patient usually receives a DEXA scan once every two years.
