Total Body/body Composition Body composition measurement with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) can look beyond weight and the traditional body mass index (BMI) to determine body fat distribution – an important risk factor in a variety of serious diseases. More broadly speaking, information from DXA exams can prove valuable in conditions, such as:
Obesity
Anorexia nervosa
Cystic fibrosis
Wasting syndrome (caused by HIV/Aids)
Chronic renal failure
LVA for enhanced dual energy imaging of the lateral spine.
DualFemur With the DualFemur option, both femora are automatically scanned in one seamless acquisition without repositioning the patient. As such DualFemur allows you to assess the density of the critical hip region, including identification of the weakest side increasing confidence in your treatment decisions. In addition, the trending function enables seamless follow-up of change over time.
Ultra Low Dose Pediatrics Bone densitometry in pediatric subjects is a rapidly growing application. Recent advances in GE Healthcare's fan-beam bone densitometers offer lower dose and rapid acquisition for new opportunities in pediatrics. BMD and body composition assessment provide valuable clinical information pertaining to children with growth disorders, metabolic diseases, and cachexia, among other conditions.
GE Lunar’s TeleDensitometry options are designed to meet the needs of all densitometry users, from small primary care practices to large multi-site centers utilizing PACS (Picture Archival and Communications System), all of whom are looking for online, paperless, and efficient digital solutions.
These advances in electronic communication are made possible by GE Lunar’s revolutionary Windows NT® software platform, enCORE™, which combines sophistication and networking with unprecedented user-friendliness.
