Indications for use: The DPX Series Duo Bone Densi-tometer provides an estimate of BMD at the spine,proximal femur and forearm regions. This BMD valuecan then be compared to a reference population at the sole discretion of the physician.

The DPX Duo has mechanical features to allow use asan exam table when bone densitometry is disabled andthe scan arm is rotated and locked parallel to the table.

CAUTION: Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.

There is a place for bone densitometry… in your office.There’s a place in your practice for full function bone densitometry.But is there room for it in your office? With the Lunar DPX Duo™ – the world’s first DEXAM1 system – the answer is definitely!

This breakthrough bone densitometer can be added to any office with zero netchange in available square footage.2 When not in use for bone densitometry studies,it can double as an examination table for regular patient visits. The DPX Duo’scompact footprint fits in almost any room.

The DPX Duo’s low precision error is key fordetecting early bone changes in your patients.The DPX Duo delivers reliable bone mineraldensity measurements and enables physiciansto make sound patient care decisions. Best ofall, it brings bone densitometry to where thepatients are – your office.

The Lunar DPX Duo bone densitometerdoubles as an exam table. The swingarm design lets you easily move the armto the side for regular patient care.

Diagnostic confidence

EfficientOneScan automatically combines scans of the spineand hip into one exam; both scans are acquired in oneprocess and evaluated in one analysis. Rather thanreceiving multiple assessment reports, you and yourreferring physicians receive a single, consolidatedreport that combines the fracture risk assessmentanalyses for greater convenience and time savings.

OneScan

DualFemur

ConfidentThe optional DualFemur feature automatically measuresboth the left and right femurs in one fast scan. DualFemurimproves accuracy by identifying the femur with the lowestdensity. The 30% improvement3 in precision seen with the combined left/right BMD enhances the ability tomonitor response to therapy at this critical fracture site.

The Lunar DPX Duo operates on the SmartScan platform, providing high-performance scanning andclinical utility. In seconds, it provides measurements of the two most vital clinical sites – the spine andfemur - at a low radiation dose (see technical specifications). The highly automated Windows-basedenCORE software platform optimizes productivity and ensures consistent results. Advanced OneScanand SmartScan features provide ease of use and low precision error.

SeamlessThe Lunar DPX Duo patient report combines keydiagnostic results. It prominently displays T-scores along with fracture risk assessment graphs based on the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria for diagnosingosteoporosis. This makes result interpretation andfracture risk assessment seamless.

One consolidated report for easy interpretation

SmartScan

AutomatedPatient scanning is quick and automated with SmartScan. Thisunique measurement technique automatically makes real-timescan path adjustments during the examination. You get consistent,accurate and fast results without compromising reliability orprecision of the measurements.

The Lunar DPX Duo bone densitometer system comes with advancedtools that help you provide quality care, easily and efficiently.

“The Lunar DPX Duo does a wonderful job in smallspaces. Our patients appreciate having bonedensity scans done at the clinic rather than beingreferred to a facility. They also like that I am ableto discuss their BMD assessment right away.”– Lewis Blumenthal MD, OB/GYN Women’s Health Consultants, Chicago, IL

The Lunar DPX Duo is designed to have minimal impact on your practice in bothinstallation requirements and required operating space. The system is shown above in a 8' x 9' exam room, with a typical workstation. No operator shielding isrequired.2 A dedicated 20 Amp 120VAC duplex outlet is required, and should beplaced near the desired location of the operators console.
