GE Lunar Bone DEXA

Dr Name

GE Lunar Bone DEXA

This machine is considered to be GE’s premium segment that is advanced in nature. The Bone densitometer with GE has an aesthetic design that would produce the precise results; this has high-resolution images for both the bone and also the body composition applications.

Strength

  • It has a Narrow Fan Beam scan that combines the best features of pencil beams along with a short scan time.
  • It has a Photon Counting Detector that uses simultaneously high and also low energy X-rays photons that would result in lower dosage to patients along with faster scans
  • It has SmartScan that has unique features of the GE Healthcare, it would estimate patient and X-ray, subsequent sweep, reduces the scan time.
  • A K-edge Filter that will absorb X-rays in middle energy range and also protect patient against any unnecessary exposure.
  • There is also Low Scattered Radiation and its comparison to any wide-angle and also fan based systems.

Use

  • This helps the physicians and the clinicians to diagnose any osteoporosis and the risk of any fracture. This will also aid in tracking the bone health changes over a period of time.

It is also helpful in understanding composition analysis (this is the fat and lean fat tissue mass).
