Cooper XR-46™ Central DXA
Bone Densitometry System
        
The Norland XR-46™ central DXA bone densitometry system represents true state-of-the-art performance, precision, and accuracy, with unmatched clinical features and price.
      
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
      
      
8' table: accommodates full body or regional scans.
      
Quickscan Technology: 2nd generation pencil beam x-ray scanning ensures optimization of precision, accuracy, and scan speed.
Standard sites: Whole Body (BMD) with Soft Tissue Composition (fat/lean tissue analysis), AP Spine, Lateral Spine, Hip, and Forearm and optional Research, Small Subject modalities.
      
Exclusive Dynamic Filtration: real-time tuning of scan x-ray intensity minimizes x-ray presence to patients and staff while maximizing scan region signal for widest range of patient sizes - thin through heavy.
      
Exclusive 77-step calibration process: complementing the Dynamic Filtration, ensures accuracy of scan region signal for widest range of patient sizes (thin through heavy) by precisely calculating the effects of soft tissue on the bone reading.
      
Features a large active scan area to accommodate the widest range of patients.
      
Presents standard BMD (sBMD), using NHANES III data - a new standard for total spine and total hip bone densitometry.
      
Exclusive Soft Tissue Calibration: ensures accurate fat and lean tissue analysis useful in the management of patients with conditions such as excessive obesity, chronic renal failure, anorexia nervosa, AIDS/HIV, and cystic fibrosis.
      
U-Scan Technology: spinal conditions such as scoliosis are managed by automatic adjustment of the "region of interest" (ROI) for the scan. This minimizes reading errors due to ROI misalignment, the need for patient repositioning, and re-scanning.
      
Exclusive Hip Positioning System: ensures proper femur rotation and repeatability of scan regions resulting in accurate comparisons of BMD changes between scans.
