Connectivity and productivity solutions
Complete connectivity 9
with DICOM, HL7, MUDB
and TeleDensitometry
DICOM and HL7 connectivity seamlessly integrate
densitometry results with Picture Archival and
Communication Systems (PACS) and Radiology/Hospital
Information Systems (RIS/HIS) respectively.
The Worklist feature, present in both DICOM and HL7,
enables you to automatically use patient information from
scheduling applications, increasing throughput while also
helping to reduce data entry errors.
Multi-User Database access (MUDB) improves flexibility and
productivity by offering the possibility to access and/or
reanalyze scans remotely and to share with clinical partners.
TeleDensitometry enables you to send paperless reports
as easy e-mail attachments, viewable on any personal
computer without special software.
Composer: custom reports
With clinical diagnosis and treatment decisions based on a
variety of pre-defined criteria and guidelines established by
international and local societies,
10 it might not always be
that easy for your referring colleagues and administrations
to interpret multi-page reports. Composer allows you to
automatically generate concise custom patient reports,
including imagery, clinician diagnosis and monitoring
assessments, in full accordance with the pre-defined
criteria and guidelines in your locality.
OneVision: the spine and both femurs
in one comprehensive report
OneVision automatically combines scans of the spine and
both hips into one comprehensive report, acquired in one
process and evaluated in one analysis. Rather than receiving
multiple assessment reports, the referring physician receives
a single, consolidated report that combines all risk
assessment analyses.
enCORE software – seamless osteoporosis management
The intuitive graphical enCORE software provides a dedicated palette of clinical
applications for seamless osteoporosis assessment in a streamlined operator-
friendly package, while ensuring clinical confidence and fast throughput. The
embedded AutoAnalysis feature facilitates the assessments even more, by
automatically placing the (adjustable) standard regions of interest (ROI).

With SmartScan Without SmartScan
SmartScan – increase throughput
Patient scanning speed is improved with the SmartScan feature: this time-
saving scanning technique automatically adapts the scan path to the
skeletal structure, imaging the necessary anatomy only, resulting in further
speed gains and dose reduction. Utilizing this feature, AP spine and femur
scan times are typically less than two minutes in standard mode.
DualFemur – identifying the weakest femur
With the DualFemur option, both femorae are automatically scanned
in one seamless acquisition without repositioning the patient. As such,
DualFemur allows you to assess the density of the critical hip region,
including identification of the weakest side increasing confidence in your
treatment decisions. In addition, the trending function enables seamless
follow-up of change over time.

ScanCheck – add quality and diagnostic power
ScanCheck automatically studies acquisition inputs and the acquired
image, looking for errors and patient irregularities. When it detects
anomalies, it displays explanations and instructions which can be
reviewed by the interpreting physician. ScanCheck helps speed
throughput and reduces errors. It also helps technologists provide
information to the interpreting physician.

OneScan – three sites in one test
OneScan simplifies BMD testing by acquiring lumbar spine and bilateral
femur scans in one, automatic process from a single patient position,
without compromising diagnostic confidence.
