Third-generation DXA technology
without compromise.
You can be confident in Prodigy’s ability to help care for your patients. Its
technology is a result of 30 years of innovation and is the subject of hundreds
of peer-reviewed articles in leading journals.
Over the years, the Prodigy system has been refined to address many issues
still found in some competitive systems. For example, its narrow-angle
fan-beam design with Multi-View Image Reconstruction (MVIR) corrects
magnification error. And its direct-to-digital detector with energy-sensitive
material reduces radiation dose (see chart).
4 These innovations provide
industry-leading precision 5 and lower radiation exposure to help you
improve patient care.
