Clarity High-resolution images bring anatomy into focus. One in four women over the age of 50 will suffer a vertebral fracture in her remaining lifetime, with severe impact on quality of life.1 Assessment is made easy with Lunar iDXA system’s extra-crisp images. Lunar iDXA offers the latest generation of DXA technology from GE Healthcare. It’s vertebral assessment is comparable to radiographs in identifying and classifying deformities concerning etiology, grade, and shape,2 while using a lower dose of radiation. Lunar iDXA helps you detect a variety of asymptomatic compression fractures....

Precise measurement helps you detect small changes nearly twice as fast. Osteoporosis treatment and other clinical interventions require time to monitor. Lunar iDXA helps with exceptional precision, due to its direct-to-digital detector plus staggered array and narrow-angle fan beam technology with Multi-View Image Reconstruction (MVIR). This corrects magnication error that is observed with competitive wide-angle fan beam systems.3 What’s all this precision worth to you? It enables you to detect small and signicant changes sooner, which can help motivate patient compliance, guide treatment...
