GE Lunar Prodigy Primo and Advance Bone Densitometer

GE Lunar Prodigy Bone Densitometer

Effective use of serial DXA measurements for monitoring changes in BMD requires the minimization of precision error. The Lunar Prodigy Advance has been demonstrated to have a precision error that easily meets the ISCD standards for all regions.

A woman’s risk of an osteoporotic fracture is much higher than that of breast cancer, stroke and heart attack combined. Approximately 40% of 50-year-old women will experience at least one osteoporotic fracture during their remaining lifetime. 1,2

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that women aged 65 and older be routinely measured for osteoporosis to reduce the risk of fracture and spinal abnormalities often associated with the disease.

The Lunar Prodigy® Advance utilizes a direct-digital array detector and narrow-angle fan-beam technology to enhance dose efficiency and achieve excellent precision and patient throughput in spine, femur and total body measurements.

Features of Primo

One Vision

With OneVision you and your referring physicians receive a single, consolidated report that combines the complete risk assessment analysis rather than receiving multiple assessment reports.

Dual-energy Vertebral Assessment-DVA

DVA expands the clinical applications available for the Lunar Prodigy Primo bone densitometer. DVA provides rapid, dual-energy images of the AP and lateral spine, allowing clinicians to visually assess vertebral deformations.

DualFemur

The DualFemur feature automatically measures both left and right femurs in one fast scan, and improves accuracy by identifying the femur with the lowest density. The 30%1 improvement in precision enhances the ability to monitor response to therapy.

Patient Reports

The Lunar Prodigy Primo patient report displays T-scores and Z-scores along with the fracture risk assessment graph, based on the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria to define osteoporosis, and key diagnostic information. This makes interpretation of results and fracture risk assessment seamless.

Total body composition

Body composition scans with DXA provide precise and accurate data on bone and tissue composition, including bone mineral density (BMD), lean and fat tissue mass, and %fat. They provide both total body data and regional results.

Features of Advance

ScanCheck

ScanCheck automatically identifies potential acquisition and analysis errors and provides multimedia help. It also alerts of incorrect positioning, unusual anatomy, high-density areas and artifacts, and makes recommendations for correction.
