Usage and How to Use the EXCELLUS DXA Scanner

The EXCELLUS DXA scanner is designed for use in hospitals, clinics, and specialized diagnostic centers. It is primarily used to evaluate bone mineral density and body composition, supporting the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis and related conditions.

To perform a scan, the patient is positioned on the scanning table with the area of interest aligned under the narrow fan beam X-ray source. The swing arm feature allows adjustment to accommodate half-body scans from shoulder to knee as well as specific sites such as the spine, femur, or forearm.

The device emits low-dose X-rays that pass through the body, and detectors measure the absorption differences between bone and soft tissue. This data is processed to generate detailed images and quantitative measurements of bone mineral density and body composition parameters.

Scan times vary by site but are optimized for speed without sacrificing accuracy. The EXCELLUS DXA scanner’s software provides comprehensive reports including T-scores and Z-scores, which are critical for osteoporosis diagnosis and fracture risk assessment using FRAX.
