Unigamma
DEXA FAN BEAM
BONE DENSITOMETER
PLUS
Unigamma is the latest multi-detector,fan beam DXA bonedensitometer
manufactured by l’acn. The 5-channel architecture allows reduced scan times and
better image resolution. Moreover, the small fan-beam configuration minimizes the
geometrical distortion, even on wholebody scans. For special applications, it is also
possible to use the unit in a pencil-beam mode, using only the central channel. The
new WINMOC v10.1 software features new graphic tools for image improvement,
such as non-linear contrast , bi-cubic interpolation, customizable color scales and
double image scans.
Simplicity of use and modular design make of Unigamma the ideal all-purpose bone
densitometer for different user categories, ranging from the big hospitals to the
private doctor’s clinic.
Unigamma
Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is an ever growing problem affecting millions of women and men worldwide. The healthcare costs associated
with osteoporosis are staggering, and the effect on your patient’s quality of life can be devastating.
But fortunately, osteoporosis is detectable and treatable. Testing is safe and non invasive so you can test for osteoporosis in
your office.
l’acn
Over 25 years now l’acn from the very North of Italy has designed
and supplied bone densitometry systems to customers world
wide. R & D efforts focus on providing efficient clinical solutons in a
competitive environmet.
Bone Densitometry
For many years researchers and clinicians have been measuring
bone density to monitor and manage osteoporosis and other
bone disease. Use of dual energy allows for the correction of soft
tissue variations. Pencil beam DEXA systems offer maximum
accuracy with minimal exposure, while fan beam systems offer
short scan times. Only the Unigamma family of DEXA systems
combines the best of both worlds: multiple pencil beams and a fan
beam geometry.
The standard measurements like AP spine and Hip (for the elder
population) with respectively scoliosis correction and autmatic
metal exclusion are standard.
Calibration and Compatibility:
In order to allow comparison the results are expressed in sBMD
mg/cm². The NHANES reference curves are included for the
“total hip” measurements.

Precision, Linearity and Accuracy
Extensive automated Q.A. procedures allow for years of superb measurement reliability and to maintain the high
production quality standards. Production controls include linearity and accuracy checks over the entire range of
clinical values. An intelligent feedback ensures spectrastability.
Support
Trained local specialists together with the European support center provide a prompt respones to user questions.
Unigamma
Multi Pencil Beam in Fan Beam geometry
Five individually and finely collimated pencil beams ensure the lowest possible patient dose, while
simultaneously allowing for fast scan times and optimal patient throughput. l’acn has employed its
expertise in multi-detector gamma camera solutions to create a dependable and yet extremely
versatile answer to the requirements of high throughput clinics.
