"Bone
Densitometer" DEXA Scanner
DEXA
is an abbreviation for "Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry".
This is a special x-ray procedure that determines
the strength of your bones. Bone strength is assessed
by measuring the bone density so a DEXA scanner is
sometimes called a "bone densitometer." Other means of assessing bone strength are also available
but a DEXA scan is currently the most accurate method
and it uses the lowest amount of radiation (a standard
chest x-ray exposes you to 10 times more radiation
than a DEXA scan). The DEXA
scanner at AOC is the most complete bone assessment
tool ever devised.

Altaire
Open MRI AOC is very proud to have the latest in MRI
technology. The Hitachi Altaire is the most sophisticated
and strongest open magnet on the market. At first,
it is common for many patients to have misgivings
about undergoing an MRI procedure. You may be nervous
about the feeling of confinement, or the length of
the procedure, or whether any discomfort is involved.
But, with education, many patients discover that Hitachi
Altaire Open MRI is spacious and quiet, providing
superior images with minimum disturbance. Some have
even been known to fall asleep during the exam.
