    The document discusses DXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) technologies for bone density measurement. It describes pencil beam and fan beam technologies, with pencil beam having lower radiation dose but fan beam providing faster scans. It then introduces the DEXXUM T device, which uses pencil beam technology for cost-effectiveness and low dose, and provides features like fast scan times and automatic functions.

    4-1. What is DXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry)?

    DXA relies on the differential absorption of two distinct photon energies - a


    high and low energy photon.
    The high and low energy photons will be largely unaltered by soft tissue, but
    the lower energy photon will be significantly attenuated by bone compared to
    the high energy photon. This difference in attenuation can be used, with the
    mass attenuation coefficient for each energy and tissue type (bone or soft
    tissue) to determine the mass per unit area (because each data point is a fixed
    size dependent on the detector size) in the path of the beam by solving
    simultaneous equations for each tissue type point by point. Effectively, the soft
    tissue component becomes the reference for determining the bone
    component.
