The system features state-of-the-art high-resolution technology, with fast imaging and low-dose elements for the safety of both patient and the operator.
Additionally, the incorporation of a new calibration system (for bones and tissues) at pixel level ensures high-quality image, measurement accuracy and repetition over time, making it possible to monitor the progression and level of disease.
Advantages:
• Features the latest digital technology of 64 multi-channel detectors ensuring the highest amount of data and optimum accuracy of results
• Clear and focused (unscattered) radiation
• Optimal separation between soft tissues and bones
• Powerful beam, capable of penetrating over weight patients without increasing the time of examination
The following protocols can be implemented:
• Lumbar spine
• Hip examination
• Dual hip examination
• Whole body bone density measurement
• Forearm examination
• Ability to compare images of previous scans, providing control of the patient’s progress of malformations during repetitive scans
• Pediatric protocol which involves the examination of pediatric hip, lumbar and whole body scan
Lipometry System
Moreover, quantitative analysis of body’s fat composition (fat – muscle percentage) is performed. This examination is performed via the whole body measurement protocol without the need for further scanning whilst provides high-precision results. Color imaging of areas of fat, muscle mass, bone mass as well as high-precision whole-body results and user-defined sub-regions are provided. Both are represented in percentage and in absolute numeric values.
