5 CADwill alert the technologist to unusual patientanatomy, high-density areas, and identifying a potential problem, CADmakes a recommendation for correction via the online multimedia help. CAD is clinicallyproven to concur with osteoporosis expertassessments.*ComposerTMComposer automatically generates patientreports, including assessments and follow uprecommendations. Scan results are based onpre-defined criteria established by the WorldHealth Organization (WHO), and InternationalSociety of Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) andthe National, and International OsteoporosisFoundations (NOF, and IOF). It determines thelowest T-score, based on user-defined regions,and automatically inserts the correspondingassessment and detects and flags characteristics thatrequire closer review.*JBMR 2003; 18 (Suppl 2): S201. Total BodyHandHip Axis LengthLateral DVA and AP SpineCross-Sectional Moment of InertiaOrthopedicPediatricInfant Total BodyTotal Body, Body CompositionThe Total Body exam, the ultimate in skeletal assess-ment, provides precise bone density and body com-position (total fat, lean and bone tissue) results in onescan.

6 Body composition measurements are usedincreasingly to manage a variety of clinical andresearch applications including: secondary osteoporo-sis, hyperparthyroidism, anabolic steroid therapy,anorexia nervosa and malabsorptive and soft-tissue assessment provide valuableclinical information in children with growth disor-ders, metabolic diseases, and cachexic disorders,among other conditions. Gender-specific pediatricreference data is implemented. A specific option Infant Total Body is also available for measuringyoung children and infants.**Dual-energy Vertebral Assessment (DVA) -diagnose and assess vertebral fractures withyour densitometerDual-energy Vertebral Assessment (DVA) expands theclinical applications available for the Lunar ProdigyAdvance bone densitometer. DVA provides a rapid,dual-energy image of the AP and lateral spine allowingclinicians to visually assess the presence of vertebralfractures.

7 Experts and radiologists agree; dual-energyis the preferred method for imaging the lateral spine.* Advanced Hip Assessment (AHA): Hip Axis Length(HAL), Cross-Sectional Moment of Inertia (CSMI)The Lunar Prodigy Advance provides the firstmajor breakthroughs in femoral densitometryassessment since the introduction of DXA systemsoftware in 1987. These features are included inthe new Advanced Hip Assessment includes all the standard femoral regions of interest that were previously available, plusadditional key measurements and assessments: HALhas been demonstrated in prospective studies as an effective adjunct to femur bonedensity in predicting fracture risk. CSMI calculated using the Lunar ProdigyAdvance for research into load-bearingcapacity of the Orthopedic software measures precisely and accurately Bone Mineral Density (BMD), and BoneMineral Content (BMC), providing orthopedists with avaluable tool for both clinical practice and Healthcare.
