Osteoporosis is the most common chronic bone disease, characterized by low bone density. It is estimated that more than 200 million people are at higher risk of fracture due to this disease³. Osteoporosis can affect anyone, regardless of age or gender. Early detection is key to preventing fractures and saving lives. GE HealthCare's portfolio support in diagnosing and promoting bone health.

Integrated Trabecular Bone Score

TBS is a separate risk factor from bone density that measures bone quality and research suggests that it adds to DXA in predicting patients:
• A skeletal status assessment table was added, providing a “Bone Resilience Index” that visually shows the combined BMD T-score and TBS categories.
• New therapeutic decision tools have been introduced, including TBS adjusted FRAX® and TBS adjusted BMD T-score. These tools can be helpful since different drugs may impact bone density and bone micro-architecture differently.
• For quicker workflow, automated conclusions are now included in the report, providing conclusions based on medical society guidelines.

Dual-energy Vertebral Assessment

DVA vs. conventional spine radiographs
The conventional spine radiograph is today’s standard for vertebral assessment. However, a DVA densitometer offers several key advantages:
• Low-dose point of care
• Subtract soft tissue with artifacts
• Shows both single- and dual-energy images

Morphometry
Automatically labels vertebral deformations by using a six-point measurement of the anterior, posterior and mid-heights of vertebras.

ClearView filter
Enhances images to show bone edges better. It is applied only to improve bone edge detail, while reducing noise to soft tissue. The operator controls the amount of enhancement with a slide bar for viewing real-time image change.

Atypical Femur Fracture (AFF) Analysis

The Atypical Femur Fracture Analysis provides clinicians with the ability to identify and assess early evidence of AFF without exposing patients to additional radiation through a CT scan or to the cost and inconvenience of an MRI⁴.
AFF provides a dual-energy X-ray image of the entire femur for both qualitative visual assessment and quantitative measure and also bone mineral density (BMD) values.

• Profile along the femoral shaft of the beaking, lateral and medial cortical widths in mm
• Exam can be run on a single femur scan
• Trend serial measurements graphically
• Visualize potential AFF sites
• Retrospective analysis of the entire patient database

Pediatric measurement and analysis

Children grow at unique rates. Our advanced pediatric analysis let you compare skeletal and chronological age analyses and BMD results against gender-specific reference populations. Age-specific standard deviations for each patient allow for enhanced diagnostic confidence.^5,6

The DXA Pediatric application provides a complete measurement of bone, fat, and lean tissue composition:
• Height for age⁷
• BMC for bone area⁷
• Bone area for height⁷
• Lean body mass for height (muscle development)^8,9
• BMC for lean body mass (muscle-bone balance)^8,9

Exam results provide excellent diagnostic quality information and a comprehensive trending tool, coupled with full reporting and connectivity options.
