GE Healthcare-Product Technology -Bone Densitometry

Complete pediatric analysis tools

The Lunar DXA pediatric application measures more than BMD. It analyzes all three tissue types – lean mass, fat mass and bone – to help you monitor growth and development in children*,**. The Lunar DXA pediatric application is a complete package*** providing a solid clinical solution including total body BMD and body composition exams as well as AP Spine and proximal femur assessments.

Measuring directly and without parallax.

The direct measurements without parallax enable enhanced assessments of growth and development and include:

Skeletal and chronological age analysis
Comparison of BMD against gender-specific reference populations
Height for age (bone length)
BMC for area (bone density)
Bone area for height (bone width)
Lean body mass for height (muscle development)
BMC for lean mass (muscle-bone balance)
