Bone Densitometry Equipment
 PRODIGY is LUNAR's latest
densitometer delivering top-of-the-line
performance, including total body and body composition.
PRODIGY is an affordable fan-beam
densitometer that is total-body ready so that you will not be caught short for clinical
management (pediatrics, renal disease, growth hormone, body composition) and research (90%
of trials require total-body). PRODIGY delivers the best of fan-beam and pencil-beam
densitometry by combining rapid throughput and superb image quality with excellent
precision and a 10 times lower dose.
Only densitometer with SmartFAN™
This exclusive feature eliminates image magnification, blurring, and high
patient dose inherent in competitive fan-beam densitometers. It automatically locates the
bone thus eliminating the need for scout scans. DualFemur test minimizes time and operator
effort for a complete study of both femurs. The simplified user interface guides the
operator through all measurement and analysis procedures.
PRODIGY outperforms competitive pencil- and fan-beam densitometers
Its excellent precision allows confident monitoring of small changes in
patient bone density. AutoAnalysis ensures repeatable results with minimal operator
intervention.
High-resolution images facilitate easy identification and exclusion of
artifacts
The advanced solid-state array detector is energy sensitive, an exclusive
feature that allows image acquisition with 10-20 times lower dose than competitive
fan-beam densitometers.
Clear results are easy to read and simple to interpret
Appropriate reference populations are included for patient comparison.
PRODIGY utilizes the most extensive databases available, including NHANES, to assist the
physician in making a confident comparison. Adjustments can be made for body weight.
PRODIGY operates under the familiar Windows NT environment. PRODIGY is also
DICOM-capable for connection to existing radiology and hospital networks.
PRODIGY requires a minimum of valuable room space, even smaller than competitive
densitometers that offer only spine and femur scans. Only the scanner arm moves—not
the table. This mechanical simplicity ensures years of reliable results and dependable
uptime. |
