Norland Excell
Features and 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 < 2.0 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 Technical Specifications
