(Equipment shown here as new.  Actual photographs available upon request.)

Features & Benefits:

• 6' DXA table - using pencil beam technology
• Standard sites: AP spine and proximal femur
• Small footprint ideal for any office or mobile facility
• Faster scan times:
  

  AP Spine	< 1.5 minutes
  Hip	< 1.5 minutes

• Exclusive Dynamic Filtration compensates for the widest range in patient thicknesses to ensure every data point receives proper exposure while eliminating photon saturation or starvation
• Exclusive 77-step calibration process allows scanning of the widest range of subjects without special calibration or correction of data
• Norland-pioneered fracture risk assessment feature provides simplified color reporting for physician and patient
• Presents standard BMD (sBMD), using NHANES III data - a new standard for total spine and total hip bone densitometry
• Lowest price of any axial scanner available anywhere in the world *

  * Based on October 1998 comparison of central, pencil beam x-ray bone densitometers
