Advanced Health Assessment: Discovery DXA System
Hologic pioneered dual x-ray (DXA) bone densitometry technology which has become the industry
standard for assessing bone health and osteoporosis risk. Today, using the Discovery™ system,
clinicians can identify fractures not discernible by physical examination, while determining basic
bone mineral density and the patient’s T-score. The system also offers several other impressive
applications such as High Definition Instant Vertebral Assessment™ (IVA™-HD) which provides
a high resolution image for assessing vertebral fractures while also providing visualization of
the abdominal aorta for evaluating calcifications (AAC), FRAX® fracture risk assessment, and
Advanced Body Composition™ assessment with InnerCore™ visceral fat assessment which
affords the clinical practitioner an overview of fat mass, lean mass, and visceral fat all of which
could be key indicators for cardiovascular risk and other metabolic disease states.
