Hologic Discovery A DXA

Optional Features:
In addition to its pre-loaded package, the Discovery A also supports
more optional features than other Discovery models including:
Prosthetic hip
Small animal
Infant whole body
Body composition analysis
Sub-region body composition analysis

Technology:
OnePass single-sweep scanning, which delivers superb image quality8 and precision.
9 Our exclusive design utilizes a multi-element digital detector array paired
with true fan-beam acquisition geometry, enabling rapid,
dual-energy bone density measurements.
OnePass scanning is designed to eliminate beam overlap errors
and image distortion found in rectilinear acquisition techniques,
resulting in superb image quality and data stability.
