The Horizon DXA system is the latest in densitometry technology, but dual-energy X-rays do more than just measure bone density. The Horizon DXA system has features for complete fracture risk assessment and more.
Reduces patient concerns about long-term bisphosphonate use with a 15-second single-energy femur scan that enables visualization of potential incomplete atypical femur fractures.
HD Instant Vertebral Fracture™ assessment significantly improves the detection of vertebral fractures by doubling the resolution of previously available techniques with a low-dose energy image.
The HD Instant Vertebral assessment also allows visualization of calcified plaque in the abdominal aorta, which can be an important indicator of heart disease and stroke. Exclusive to Hologic, this feature provides essential information that can link to coronary heart disease, the leading cause of death in women.
With the InnerCore™ visceral fat assessment, Advanced Body Composition assessment is a more comprehensive way to measure body composition compared to other methods on the market. It provides you with body fat %, total lean mass, bone density, limb comparison for muscle imbalance detection, visceral fat, and more. We call it the BodyLogic™ scan.
