Support and Service from the leader

Since 1970, Norland has been a leader in bone densitometry. Today Norland is the only world wide company dedicated to the field of bone densitometry.

Norland Medical Systems provides a one year warranty, service (local where available) and applications training and full support.

Norland Capital provides ''one-stop'' financing to United States customers including customized leasing, financing and Cost Per Test services.

XR-36
Exception DXA Accuracy

Dynamic Filtration
[Dynamic Automatic Exposure Control]
Norland Medical System sell the only DXA system with DYNAMIC FILTRATION, which compensates for the wide range in tissue thickness. Norland's DYNAMIC FILTRATION varies the x-ray pencil beam intensity during the scan by changing the filters. These filters are inserted or withdrawn from the beam path within a single pixel acquisition with no loss of data. This assures each pixel will receive the proper exposure, regardless of the tissue thickness. This results in the best accuracy and precision over the broadest range of patient sizes, at minimum radiation dose.

Z Step Calibration
Norland's exclusive direct measurement calibration process measures 77 combinations of phantom represented soft tissue and bone. Other manufacturers calibrate on a few points, optimize for the average size patient, and extrapolate to both ends of the size scale. Direct measurements eliminate errors associated with beam hardening at thick patient sizes, and provide the foundation for superior scan performance.

Z scan for Auto Centering
During the AP spine exam, Norland's Auto Centering option ensures the vertebral column is both centered and straight in the scan region.

Precise positioning
The XR-36 combines advanced patient positioning aids, scout scan technology, a laser marking system, and intelligent scanning to assure highly reproducible and efficient exams.
In vivo experiments indicate a significant improvement in precision when using Norland's advanced hip positioning aid. The fixture rotates the mid thigh to achieve a consistent measurement area in the femoral neck.

QuikScan (TM) Patient throughput is enhanced using QuikScan (TM) technology:

QuikScanTM scan times are:
Scan type                Time
AP Spine                  2 min.
Femur                       3 min.
Forearm                    3 min.
Whole body             5 min.

"As president, I have committed my company to providing medical facilities with "state-of-the-art" bone densitometry equipment to help them do a better job with preventing, testing for, screening for, detecting, diagnosing, and treating Osteoporosis which ravage so many women and men. Our diagnostic equipment will speed up the prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment of Osteoporosis and osteoporotic bone disorders in men and women. The key to preventing Osteoporosis in women and men is early detection, diagnosis, and treatment. This means measuring, testing, screening, detecting, and diagnosing low bone mass in women and men early in their lifetimes so that effective treatment can stop the Osteoporosis dead in its tracks." Together, we can help protect families from this terrible disease.

Sincerely,
Mark Piening
