    Dexxum T Dexxum T: The Innovative Axial DEXA

    Uploaded by

    Mahmoud Ahmed
    The document describes the DEXXUM T, an innovative dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) system for measuring bone mineral density (BMD). It has fast scan times of 85 seconds for the spine and 65 seconds for the femur. It also offers automatic calibration, precise measurements under 1%, and generates detailed patient reports for evaluating BMD scores over time. The system allows scanning of multiple areas simultaneously and features tools for manually editing scan regions of interest to improve accuracy.
