Horizon® DXA System - Bone Densitometry System
Intuitive design, innovative tools and a comprehensive platform-these features are fully incorporated into
the HORIZON DXA densitometry system. The system is easy to use, featuring a graphical user interface
that streamlines the exam process from start to finish.
Unlike any other bone densitometry technology, the HORIZON DXA system allows practices to assess multiple chronic diseases in a single visit, benefiting:
- Patients, with its great comfort, fast exam times and low-dose X-rays, and
- Practitioners, by giving them an expanded range of highly valued clinical services to help them build the success of their practices
Only HORIZON DXA produces radiographic quality images of the entire femur for assessment of potential atypical femur fractures. HORIZON DXA system features the latest innovations in bone densitometry technology; including a new digital high resolution ceramic detector array, a new frequency X-ray generator and an internal dynamic calibration system, which delivers pixel-by-pixel calibration through bone and tissue equivalents for greater long-term precision.
Features of the Horizon DXA system include:
- Single energy (SE) femur exam
An SE femur exam delivers an image within 10-15 seconds. This allows visualization of potential
atypical femur fractures that can occur as the result of long-term bisphosphonate use. - High Definition Instant Vertebral Fracture Assessment (IVA-HD) imaging tool
- The IVA-HD imaging tool dramatically improves the detection of vertebral fractures by doubling
the resolution of previously available techniques with a low-dose, single-energy image. Vertebral
fracture status, combined with traditional bone density testing, is the gold standard for fracture
risk assessment. - Abdominal aortic calcification
- The IVA-HD tool also allows you to visualize calcified plaques in the abdominal aorta, which may
be a significant indicator of heart disease and stroke.2-4 Exclusive to Hologic, this feature provides vital information that may link to coronary heart disease (CHD), the leading cause of
death for women. In fact, nearly 39 percent of all female deaths in the U.S. are due to CHD. - Advanced Body Composition assessment with InnerCore visceral fat assessment
- This feature produces color images displaying the distribution of fat, lean mass, bone and fat
mass index. The information is translated into an easy-to-interpret report for improved patient
management and counseling. - All Horizon DXA systems incorporate the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
(NHANES) whole body composition reference data. The Endocrine Society recommends annual
bone mineral density and body composition exams for bariatric surgery patients.5 - FRAX* 10-year fracture risk assessment
- The FRAX tool calculates a patient’s 10-year probability of hip and other osteoporotic fractures.
FRAX was developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to help healthcare providers
identify and proactively treat patients with a high risk of debilitating bone fractures due to low
bone mass and other significant risk factors.
