Exceptional Precision and Accuracy
Several enhancements in the new APEX analysis software provide significant precision improvements.
High Definition Digital DXA Detectors
Independent studies have shown that digital DXA detectors have the industry’s best image quality. The superior image quality allows physicians to improve fracture detection and to visualize abdominal aortic calcifications2. Digital DXA detectors use the same imaging detector technology and geometry as state-of-the-art computed tomography (CT) systems.
Speed and Image QualityÂ
Discovery imaging technology captures the hip and spine with as fast as 10-second regional scanning time. For single energy vertebral fracture assessment, no other system comes close to the combined speed and imaging resolution of Discovery, with better than 1.8 Lp/mm.
Superior Visualization
The Discovery system’s exclusive design utilizes a high resolution detector array paired with true fan-beam linear acquisition geometry. The true fan-beam design enables rapid, high resolution single-energy imaging, as well as superb dual-energy bone density measurements by eliminating the beam overlap errors and image distortion found in rectilinear systems.
Consistency from Exam to Exam
The Discovery system performs continuous, automatic calibration, ensuring precise measurements results from exam to exam. You can also create and automate your preferred scan protocols to speed analysis and improve workflow.
