Features:

A Breakthrough In Fracture Risk Assessment:

- enCore - unique software platform
- Optimize productivity with automation break- throughs
- Save time
- Ensure consistent results
- Make densitometry results accessible quickly and easily with paperless digital reporting
- Obtain extensive options for connecting with local facility networks and the Internet
- Integrate bone assessment results across your entire healthcare system

Complete Accuracy From Any Angle:

- Determine the true bone area and geometry with any degree of accuracy
- Ensure precise, reliable, consistent measurement of area, bone mineral content and geometry such as hip axis length (HAL)
- Eliminate all of the guesswork
- Narrow-angle fan beam
- Make multiple passes across the patient to acquire multiple images, with each image overlapping the previous on
- Multi-View Image Reconstruction - an imaging technique perfected in computed tomography, or CT - slides these overlapping images together for a perfect match

Lateral Vertebral Assessment-quantified (LVAq):

- Improve fracture risk assessment
- Identify and quantify existing vertebral fractures - which at least double future fracture risk regardless of a patient’s bone density
- Subtract soft-tissue artifacts for better bone images and easier visual assessment
- Get reference data for vertebral height and A/P ratio
- Morphometry Wizard feature
- Allow easy step-by-step quantification

Total Body Assessment:

- Ultimate in skeletal assessment
- Get both bone density and body composition (i.e., % fat) results
- FDA-approved, gender-matched database
- Expand the utility beyond osteoporosis management
- Use combined results in a variety of secondary conditions, or when spine/hip measurements are compromised

Orthopedic Analysis:

- enCORE software platform
- Facilitate accurate, customized analysis
- Easily exclude hip prostheses, metal fastenings and other artifacts from the analysis region
- Achieve accurate bone density results
- Customize regions of interest of any shape and size
- Quickly define for greater utilization
- Customize enCORE analysis
- Assure precise results while expanding your clinical and research applications
