Lunar Prodigy Bone Densitometer with Dual Energy Vertebral Assessment
Dual Energy Vertebral Assessment (DVA™) provides a dual-energy image of the AP and lateral spine allowing clinicians to visually assess the presence of vertebral fractures. An existing vertebral fracture has been shown to double the risk of subsequent fractures. Vertebral fractures are most common in patients over age 70. Prevalence of clinical vertebral fractures in this age group is 5 – 10X higher than patients under age 70 where the prevalence is under 3%.
