Main Features

·         6' DXA table - using pencil beam technology

·         Standard sites: AP spine and proximal femur

·         Small footprint ideal for any office or mobile facility

·         Faster scan times:

AP Spine < 1.5 minutes; Hip < 2.0 minutes

·         Exclusive Dynamic Filtration compensates for the widest range in patient thicknesses to ensure every data point receives proper exposure while eliminating photon saturation or starvation

·         Exclusive 77-step calibration process allows scanning of the widest range of subjects without special calibration or correction of data

·         Norland-pioneered fracture risk assessment feature provides simplified colour reporting for physician and patient

·         Presents standard BMD (sBMD), using NHANES III data - a new standard for total spine and total hip bone densitometry

·         Lowest price of any axial scanner available anywhere in the world

·         Windows Illuminatus software.
