Revolutionize patient care with the Lunar iDXA, an advanced DXA system designed for exceptional image clarity and unmatched precision.
The Horizon DEXA (DXA) Scanner offers a multi-element detector array that incorporates the same high-definition technology used in modern CT devices. Capture highly detailed images you can trust – even when imaging large, obese patients. With its low-noise detectors, the Horizon DEXA (DXA) provides the power to assess an expanded range of clinical conditions with speed and precision. Hologic's detector array also works in concert with a new high-capacity X-ray generator to increase heat-load capacity for longer life — with no cool-down time.
Not only does this help increase patient throughput, but it also improves image quality. The Horizon DEXA (DXA) System's remarkable, high-resolution images are designed to enrich lives — yours and your patients.
Features:
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.
DEXA and DXA both refer to Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry. Some medical professionals and health care institutions may use the term DEXA, while others may use DXA. There is no real difference between DEXA and DXA, and the terms can be used interchangeably.
As a medical professional, you know that bone health is a critical aspect of overall health and wellness. Bone density scanners are a valuable tool for diagnosing and monitoring bone health, particularly in patients who are at risk for or already have osteoporosis.
A bone density scanner, also known as a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan machine, is a specialized type of X-ray machine that measures the density of bones. The scanner works by sending two low-dose X-ray beams through the bones being examined, and then measuring the amount of radiation that passes through them. This information is used to calculate the bone mineral density (BMD), which is an important indicator of bone health and strength.
DEXA scan machines are particularly useful for diagnosing and monitoring osteoporosis, a condition in which bones become weak and brittle, increasing the risk of fractures. The scans are painless, non-invasive, and take only a few minutes to complete. They are typically performed on the hip and spine, which are the areas of the body most commonly affected by osteoporosis.

As a medical professional, you can use bone density scanners to identify patients who are at risk for osteoporosis and other bone-related conditions, as well as to monitor the effectiveness of treatment plans over time. By incorporating bone density tests into your practice, you can help your patients achieve optimal bone health and reduce their risk of fractures and other complications.
Certain risk factors may dictate obtaining a scan as early as age 50. Broken bones and other illnesses can impact future bone health.
The Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation recommends women who are 65 and older and men who are 70 and older receive a bone density test (DEXA scan). However, certain women aged 50–64 years and men aged 50–69 years with risk factors, including previous fractures, a family history of osteoporosis, vitamin deficiencies, smoking and excessive alcohol intake, may benefit from scanning earlier.
Since women lose bone mass earlier than men, it is often recommended for women to receive a bone density test earlier in life.
To facilitate patient understanding and alleviate any apprehensions about a bone density test, it is crucial to effectively communicate the following steps to patients:
A patient usually receives a DEXA scan once every two years.
To ensure optimal results and a smooth experience for your patients undergoing a DEXA scan, it's important to provide them with proper guidance. Listed below are some key points to discuss with patients.
Investing in a bone density scanner is a crucial decision for any health care facility, and the cost can vary based on several factors. Understanding these factors can help you make an informed decision tailored to your specific needs and budget.
