GE Lunar Prodigy Primo DEXA
AMERICA North (USA-Canada-Mexico)
Streamlined DXA workflow with a full suite of automated tools and connectivity options;
Automated scan and analysis features, including:
Supine Forearm: Performs supine-forearm scans without patient repositioning
OneScan: Performs AP Spine and DualFemur exams without requiring patient repositioning between scans
Previous Scan Image: Displays the image from an earlier assessment as the new image is acquired
ScanCheck application automatically identifies potential errors in artifact identification,
acquisition, and analysis – and provides correction instructions.
Automatic ROI placement eliminates the need for user intervention,
enables consistency from one exam to the next, and increases precision.
QuickView offers speed and efficiency to high turnaround clinics by offering a fast,
10 second spine or femur scan.
OneVision allows you to set up multiple measurements in one exam
by eliminating keystrokes to improve throughput for operators
that routinely perform multiple measurements on each patient.
Full suite of efficient data-management tools, including:
Composer: Customizable, automated reporting to help manage patient care
Multi-User Database: Allows multiple workstations
to access DXA scan files simultaneously; allows multiple GE bone densitometers
to acquire and save scan files to a common database, and allows remote analysis
and reporting via network.
Batch Output: Expands reporting capability by outputting multiple exams,
whether printed or sent to DICOM
Database Export: Expands data exporting options to include tab-delimited files
(i.e. Excel)
enCORE Windows XP
Total Body - full system only
Business tools to manage your DXA offering, including:
Connectivity tools: Transmit data where you need it with DICOM (IHE compliant),
HL7, SQL Server and TeleDensitometry
Practice management tools: Help increase patient awareness
and drive physician referrals
Advanced Technology:
Narrow Fan Beam Scan: The Prodigy uses the Lunar patented narrow
fan beam technology that combines the best features of pencil beams (no magnification, low dose) with the short scan time
of wide fan beams while reducing magnification error inherent
to wide-angle fan beam systems.
Multi-View Image Reconstruction (MVIR): Using narrow fan beam technology
to perform multiple, spaced and transverse sweeps across the site
of interest resulting in accurate determination of bone-height above
the tabletop, minimization of magnification errors,
and thereby providing higher precision and accuracy.
Low Scattered Radiation: Due to narrow fan beam technology, low scatter radiation
in comparison to wide angle fan beam systems.
Photon Counting Detector: Dose-efficient photon counting detector technology
that simultaneously counts low and high energy X-rays photons resulting
in lower dosage to the patient and faster and efficient scans.
K-edge Filter: A stable X-ray source with “K-edge filter” that absorbs the X-rays
in the middle energy range and protects the patient against unnecessary exposure.
