Discovery osteoporosis assessment
Discovery osteoporosis assessment. Discovery, Hologic’s most advanced QDR Series bone densitometer, combines bone density and high definition Instant Vertebral Assessment, giving you the best predictor available today for assessing patients at risk for osteoporosis and vertebral fractures. Now a single IVA scan can be used to visualize calcified plaques in the abdominal aorta, a significant indication of heart disease and stroke. With one scan you can visualize two of the most significant health risks, osteoporotic fracture and Abdominal Aortic Calcifications (AAC).
Hologic pioneered the integration of BMD measurement with Instant Vertebral Assessment (IVA) allowing point-of-care assessment of the two most definitive factors associated with osteoporotic fracture risk: low bone mineral density and the presence of vertebral fracture. BMD and IVA are both powered by our exclusive OnePass technology improving the accuracy, speed and convenience of assessing osteoporosis. Technology innovations built into Discovery include High Definition Instant Vertebral Assessment (IVA-HD), seamless communication, and effortless reporting solutions.
