Explorer

The QDR Explorer - Hologic's newest bone densitometer - utilizes our exclusive One Pass fan-beam technology toImage perform precise bone mineral density (BMD) measurements. Explorer comes equipped with many features found on high-end DXA systems, but at a price comparable to older pencil-beam technology. Explorer's unique combination of workflow enhancements, electronic reporting capabilities and fan-beam technology meet your high standards of patient care and productivity. Like all Hologic fan-beam systems, Explorer provides BMD measurement with unsurpassed precision and low patient dose. Plus, an expanded package of value added software and options, and complete data compatibility with previous generation QDR instruments.

Internal Reference System

Hologic's patented Internal Reference System provides automatic pixel-by-pixel calibration assuring precise BMD results, test after test, year after year.

Anthropomorphic Spine QC Phantom

Hologic's Anthropomorphic Spine QC Phantom confirms system stability with a life-like standard.

Express Exam

Enables the operator to establish routine scan protocols with automated scanning and analysis workflow.

Tech Tips

Graphical positioning aid demonstrates correct patient alignment, scan start position and the correct scan, making it easier than ever for technologists to position patients correctly the first time and every time.



Automated Image Repositioning

Automated repositioning feature allows perfect image centering without moving the patient.

Dual Hip

Automatically moves the table and C-arm into position for a "mirror" image and measurement of the opposite hip and allows identification of the lowest BMD site for improved clinical assessment.

One Time Auto Analysis

Delivers expertly analyzed hip and AP spine scans instantly. Automatically identifies the region of interest, virtually eliminating operator intervention.

QDR One-Page Report

Combines the image, scan analysis, and reference curves in a concise, easy-to-read, visually impressive, single-page report. The Explorer patient report also contains pertinent patient information and space for diagnosis and comments.

Electronic Reporting

Electronic report in Microsoft Word format automatically downloads and formats key information into a customizable report that includes patient biographical information, BMD, and T-/Z- scores. The physician can enter final comments via keyboard or speech recognition.

IRIS (optional)

IRIS Connectivity Suite provides seamless integration with existing healthcare information systems.
