Description

The Hologic Horizon DXA is a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry system for bone density measurement and body composition analysis. Fan-beam technology and single-sweep scanning provide fast, precision bone mineral density measurements at the spine, hip, and forearm. Advanced visualization tools, vertebral fracture assessment (VFA), and trabecular bone score (TBS) extend its clinical utility for osteoporosis diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
