Research-grade analysis helps you manage
patients with confidence.
In your search for answers to a patient’s health concerns,
information is everything. And with Lunar iDXA*, GE Healthcare
offers our most advanced system to provide the data and
images you need. Whether you’re assessing bone density,
fracture risk, metabolic health, or pediatric development,
Lunar iDXA gives you a clear view inside the body.
Lunar iDXA offers research-grade image resolution and
exacting precision, designed to provide you a high degree
of clinical confidence across all body types. Consider
Lunar iDXA not only for today’s imaging needs but also
as an enduring platform for the future.
Lunar iDXA provides research-grade whole
body assessment across a broad range of
patient sizes and conditions.
Exceptional capabilities.
Details make the difference in your practice—and that’s where
Lunar iDXA excels. It puts exceptional capability within reach with
outstanding image resolution and precision, accommodation of
obese patients, and a long list of approved applications. Lead the
way with the DXA imaging system that helps you to protect the
vitality of your patients and your practice.
Enhanced ability to
detect unusually high
density for exceptional
measurement accuracy
Enhanced edge detection for outstanding accuracy and
reproducibility of bone mineral density (BMD) results
Clarity
High-resolution images bring
anatomy into focus.
One in four women over the age of 50 will suffer a vertebral fracture
in her remaining lifetime, with severe impact on quality of life.1
Assessment is made easy with Lunar iDXA system’s
extra-crisp images.
Lunar iDXA offers the latest generation of DXA technology from
GE Healthcare. It’s vertebral assessment is comparable to
radiographs in identifying and classifying deformities concerning
etiology, grade, and shape,2 while using a lower dose of radiation.
Lunar iDXA helps
you detect a variety
of asymptomatic
compression fractures.
See vertebral bodies
clearly with dual-energy
soft tissue subtraction.
Precise measurement helps you detect small
changes nearly twice as fast.
Osteoporosis treatment and other clinical interventions require time to
monitor. Lunar iDXA helps with exceptional precision, due to its direct-to-digital
High-density
detector plus staggered array and narrow-angle fan beam technology with (64 channel)
Multi-View Image Reconstruction (MVIR). This corrects magnification error
that is observed with competitive wide-angle fan beam systems.3
What’s all this precision worth to you? It enables you to detect small
and significant changes sooner, which can help motivate patient compliance,
guide treatment decisions and reduce sample size required for clinical trials.
Direct-to-digital detector plus staggered
array enhance precision and create
high-resolution images.

Versatility Breadth of applications and features for
a wide range of patients.
A large scan window plus high weight limit and arm height on the Lunar iDXA
comfortably accommodate many patient sizes and conditions. A long list of
applications for Lunar iDXA—from visceral fat measurement and pediatric
assessment to small animal scanning—helps explain why it’s chosen by
leading hospitals, clinics, and physicians around the world.

Vitality for your patients means vitality for your practice.
Your patients depend on you to identify and help manage their bone and metabolic health.
In fact, your early intervention can make a lasting difference to their future.
Lunar iDXA is designed to increase your ability to serve your patients with greater understanding
of their conditions. Its data and images give you foundational information on bone density, body
composition, and pediatric development. It’s a clear, reliable resource for your DXA needs,
today and tomorrow.
