The Discovery dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) system provides a single comprehensive platform for the assessment of three major health issues: osteoporosis including vertebral fracture assessment, cardiovascular disease, and obesity.
Discovery delivers:
- Exceptional Precision and Accuracy
- High Definition Digital DXA Detectors - To improve fracture detection and to visualize abdominal aortic calcifications1.
- Speed and Image Quality - Discovery imaging technology captures the hip and spine with as fast as 10-second regional scanning time.
- Superb Visualization1 - The Discovery system's exclusive design utilizes a high resolution detector array paired with true fan-beam linear acquisition geometry.
- Consistency from Exam to Exam - The Discovery system performs continuous, automatic calibration, ensuring precise measurements results from exam to exam.
