Hologic Discovery Wi Overview

The Hologic Discovery Wi is the most rapid means of acquiring accurate BMD results. Express BMD is powered by our exclusive OnePass fan-beam technology, represent two of the many features that improve the accuracy, speed and convenience of assessing osteoporosis.

Benefits:

Speed and image quality
Discovery’s OnePass single sweep scanning captures the hip and spine with 10-second scanning time. No other system comes close to the combined speed and imaging resolution of Discovery, with better than 1.8 Lp/min.

Automatic hip positioning
Discovery’s AccuView finds the bone edge for perfect positioning and automatically centers the hip the same way on follow-up exams for improved precision. AccuView helps eliminate common positioning errors, saving time and eliminating unnecessary rescanning.
