The content on this page is intended to healthcare professionals and equivalents.

The FDX Visionary - A is a fast pencil beam DXA system for bone health specialists seeking a cost effective and powerful solution for evaluating bone structure and assessing fracture risk.

FDX Visionary-A has established itself as the complete DXA solution for bone health specialists seeking a cost-effective, powerful and fast solution for osteoporosis diagnosis and fracture risk assessment.

Combining the very best in innovation and proven know-how, from technology to design to the software interface, Visionary DXA was developed to  enhance practitioners’ work while making it easier at the same time.

FDX Visionary-A takes the best of the Pencil Beam technology and significantly improves examination time and image quality.

Multi-Site

Full body composition results are available over several sites of the body, for full body mapping: left leg, right leg, left arm, right arm, left ribs, right ribs, T-spine, L-spine, pelvis. The large scan area provides comprehensive analysis of body composition.

Multiple Applications

A wide field of applications include software to help manage elite athletes, women’s wellness, and weight management. Body composition is also particularly useful in supporting the diagnosis of certain disorders and optimising treatment programs (obesity, cystic fibrosis, anorexia, wasting syndrome, chronic renal failure).

Visceral Adipose Tissues (VAT)

The patented algorithm estimates visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue in the android area. This DXA method provides an alternative to CT for monitoring the effects of patients’ diet or cardiovascular risk.

Powerful Metabolic Tools

Based on extensive research, these sophisticated calculation tools quickly measure fat and lean tissue percentage and distribution in the body. In addition to these parameters, other types of metabolic data are calculated to assist health and sports professionals (fat mass index, basal metabolic rate, android/gynoid ratio).

Trending & Follow-Up

Patient data analysis includes graphs and colour mapping that provides an intuitive tool for diagnosis and communication.

Options and Applications:

Beyond measuring bone density, FDX Visionary-A is a versatile device with a wide range of applications such as fracture risk assessment, prosthesis followup and weight management.
