Advanced GE Lunar
This session will examine decision making for advanced DXA analysis of GE-Lunar scans. It will demonstrate how bone mapping and soft tissue detection impact measurements. And it will identify challenges such as atypical anatomy and internal artifacts in the lumbar spine and femur.
OBJECTIVES
- Identify factors involved in accurate measurement of bone mineral density.
- Investigate decision making strategies for scan analysis using enCORE software.
- Explore challenges of proper assessment in the presence of anatomical variances.
Successful completion of this session qualifies for 1 ASRT Category A continuing education credit.
