Hologic, Inc. gas has introduced itsQDR-2000 X-ray bone densitometer, anew third generation system for the procisc evaluation of bone mineral status.The QDR-2000 provides assessment ofthe trabecular portion ofthe lumbar spineusing a lateral view combined, therebyfacilitating separate identification andquantification ofthe cortical and trabecular portions of bone. This is achievedusing a unique two-position C-arm thatfacilitates lateral imaging in the comfortable supine position without repositioning the patient. Assessment ofthe trabecular component of the vertebrae is particularly important, as it is this type of bonewhich is metabolically most active andhas the most significant impact on bonedisorders such as osteoporosis. Initialtestswiththistechnologyhaveconfirmedthat it is more sensitive than conventional

of image filters. The system's graphicalinterface provides a diagnostic reportgenerator that enables physicians to useselected images, access patient information, and see specific notes to prepare apatient diagnosis. Helios allows differentusers to see the same image and retrievesand archives images from optical devicesas well as tapes and magnetic disks.Hellos has been developed in X- and C-windows and is written for the UNIXoperating system.

bone densitometry systems in discriminating normal patients from osteoporoticpatients. The new system can also perform conventional A-P scans of the spineand hip in approximately thirty seconds,as well as whole body scans with substantinily improved image resolution in fiveminutes. Numerous published resultshave confirmed that QDR (quantitativedigital radiography) technology canachieve reproducibility of clinical measurements of better than 1.0% with nosignificant long-term variation. TheQDR-2000 replicates the measurementscurrently made using CT scanners butwith faster scan time, improved precision, and less than 1/20 ofthe dose to thepatient.

The systern captures images from any sourcequickly, catalogues the image by anycharacteristic, retrieves and displays allimages that meet request parameters,prints images for user review (withoutduplicating originals), and transmitsselections by phone for remote user approval. It eliminates reshoots and lost images, tracks every usage of an image, andallocates costs of expensive inventory.With the PICS system, there is no need tohandle original images. Images can beretrieved, viewed, and printed withoutphysically withdrawing the image fromstorage.
