Clinical Applications

Bone Mineral Density: Measures the bone mineral density of a preferred skeletal site that can be compared to an adult reference population at the sole discretion of the physician. Generates a reference chart with z-score and t-score.
FRAX: FRAX 10-Year Fracture Risk provides an estimate of 10-year probability of hip fracture and 10-year probability of a major osteoporotic fracture for men and post-menopausal women ages 40-90 years.
Multi-user Database Access: Allows multiple users to access and analyze data from the same patient database.

Spine Geometry: LVA Morphometry measurement and analysis provides an x-ray image of the spine for qualitative visual assessment in order to identify vertebral deformations and estimate vertebral heights (morphometry), while LVA and APVA Spine Geometry measure Cobb angles.
Femur/Dual Femur: Measures single femur or both the femurs in one scan, helping you assess the weakest femur through measuring bone mineral density for the proximal femur.
Orthopedic – Hip Implant: Measure the delicate region around the hip implant and visualizes 19 Gruen zones. 

BMD Trending: Monitoring tool to view changes in a patient’s BMD over time.

ScanCheck: ScanCheck assists the user in detecting Spine, Femur, Forearm and Total Body abnormalities.
OneVision: OneVision feature allows you to set up multiple measurements in one exam. This eliminates keystrokes and improves throughput for customers that routinely perform multiple measurements on each patient.

AP Spine: Provides an estimate of bone mineral density for the lumbar spine.


Lateral Spine Measurement: Lateral Spine measurement and analysis provides an estimate of bone mineral density for the lumbar spine.

Forearm: Measures radius and ulna, providing additional clinical information on BMD for the distal forearm. This measurement can be taken in both sitting or supine position.
Hand Measurement: Hand measurement and analysis provides an estimate of the bone mineral density for the hand.

Hip Axis Length: Measurement of the distance along the femoral neck axis, extending from the bone edge at the base of the trochanter to the bone edge at the inner pelvic brim.
Orthopedic Knee: Orthopedic Knee measurement and analysis provides an estimate of the bone mineral density around knee implants pre and post-surgery.
Small Animal Scan: Small Animal measurement and analysis is for investigational use on laboratory animals or for other tests that do not involve human subjects.
OneScan: OneScan performs an AP Spine and Dual Femur exam without repositioning between scans.

Body Composition-Total/Regional: Allows measurement of the regional and whole body lean and fat tissue mass, and calculates other derivative values which can be displayed in user-defined statistical formats and trends, and be compared to reference populations at the sole discretion of the healthcare professional.
Metabolic Information: Provides insight on metabolic information such as Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) and Relative Skeletal Muscle Index (RSMI) with ability to capture Total Body Water (TBW), Intracellular Water (ICW), & Extracellular Water (ECW).
Custom Regions of Interest (ROI): Allows the operator to define custom regions of interest (ROI) in a total body scan and measure lean and fat tissue along with BMC for the region.




Multi-user Database Access: Allows multiple users to access and analyze data from the same patient database.

Color Mapping: Color Mapping can be used to set threshold adjustments on fat %.    
 

A/G Ratio: Android and Gynoid Composition ROIs are available in software that allows the calculation of the Android/ Gynoid (A/G) ratio which is the ratio between the %Fat of the Android (central) and %Fat of the Gynoid (hip and thigh) regions.
 

Composition Trending: Ability to trend total body as well as region lean, & fat tissue and BMC over time for the same patient.

 

Body Mass Index: Displays BMI measure in Kg/m2 based on WHO BMI classification:

• Underweight (<18.5 BMI)
• Normal (18.5-24.9 BMI)
• Overweight (25.0-29.9 BMI)
• Obese (30.0 and above
   

Color Coding: Color coding can be used to code bone, lean tissue and fat tissue. Color Coding feature is available with Lunar iDXA, and Prodigy enhanced or basic.

MirrorImage Scan: The MirrorImage feature can be used to estimate the total body composition and bone mineral density (BMD) when regions of the body are outside of the scan window by using scanned data from the corresponding region(s) on the opposite half of the body.
