Horizon Bone Densitometry System User Guide Chapter 1: Overview
Chapter 1 Overview 1:
1.1
Indications for Use
1.1.1
APEX Indications The APEX™ for QDR™ X-ray Bone Densitometers is indicated for the estimation of bone mineral density (BMD), comparison of measured variables obtained from a given QDR scan to a database of reference values, the estimation of fracture risk, vertebral deformity assessment, body composition analysis, and discrimination of bone from prosthetics using the Hologic QDR X-ray Bone Densitometers.
1.1.2
IVA Indications IVA scans are intended for the visualization or quantitative assessment of vertebral bone deformities. IVA also allows the visualization of abdominal aortic calcification, and, if present, clinical correlation may be advised since abdominal aortic calcification may be associated with cardiovascular disease.
1.1.3
Body Composition Indications The Hologic Whole Body DXA Reference Database software used on Hologic QDR bone densitometers measures the:
• • •
regional and whole body bone mineral density, lean and fat tissue mass, and calculates derivative values of: •
bone mineral content
•
% fat, regional
•
area
•
% fat, total body
•
soft tissue mass
•
% fat, android
•
regional soft tissue mass
•
% fat, gynoid
•
total soft tissue mass
•
% fat, android/gynoid ratio
•
fat free mass
•
body mass index
•
regional and total soft tissue mass ratios
The values can be displayed in user-defined statistical formats and trends with color image mapping, and compared to reference populations at the sole discretion of the health care professional.
MAN-08072-002 Revision 002

Horizon Bone Densitometry System User Guide Chapter 1: Overview
These body composition values are useful to health care professionals in their management of diseases and conditions where the disease and conditions itself, or its treatment, can affect the relative amounts of fat and lean tissue. The Hologic Whole Body DXA Reference Database software does not diagnose disease, recommend treatment regimens, or quantify treatment effectiveness. Only the health care professional can make these judgments. Some of the diseases (and conditions) for which body composition values are useful include chronic renal failure, anorexia nervosa, obesity, AIDS/HIV, and cystic fibrosis. DXA body composition is a useful alternative to hydrostatic weighting and skin fold measurements.
1.1.4
Visceral Fat Software The Hologic Visceral Fat Software used on Hologic Horizon® bone densitometer total body scans estimates the visceral adipose tissue (visceral fat) content within the android region in an adult male or female population, excluding pregnant women. The content that is estimated is the Visceral Fat Area, Visceral Fat Mass, and Visceral Fat Volume. These values can be displayed in user-defined statistical formats and trends. The estimated visceral fat content is useful to health care professionals in their management of diseases/conditions where the disease/conditions itself, or its treatment, can affect the relative amounts of visceral fat content in the android region. Note The Hologic Visceral Fat Software does not diagnose disease, recommend treatment regimens, or quantify treatment effectiveness. Only the health care professional can make these judgments. Some of the diseases/conditions for which visceral fat estimation is useful include hypertension, impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome.
1.1.5
10-year Fracture Risk Indications Femoral neck BMD and clinical risk factors are used to estimate 10-year risk of hip fracture and 10-year risk of major osteoporotic fracture using the World Health Organization (WHO) algorithm (FRAX®) in adults. The physician may use the 10-year fracture risk, along with the physician's knowledge of patient history, and apply medical expertise and best practice clinical judgment to determine if therapeutic intervention is indicated.
1.1.6
Hip Structure Analysis Indications The Hip Structure Analysis (HSA®) for QDR X-ray Bone Densitometers uses data from conventional Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) scans to measure the distribution of bone mineral mass at specific cross sections of the hip and allows the physician to estimate structural properties of the hip, such as CSA, CSMI, Z and Buckling Ratio.

Horizon Bone Densitometry System User Guide Chapter 1: Overview
1.1.7
Single Energy (SE) Femur Exam Indications Single Energy (SE) femur exams are used to visualize focal reaction or thickening along the lateral cortex of the femoral shaft, which may be accompanied by a transverse radiolucent line. Clinical correlation is advised as these features may be consistent with atypical femur fractures, a complication associated with long term use of antiresorptive therapy.
1.2
Contraindications Pregnancy and the use of contrast agents within the past 7 days are contraindicated. See Patient Interview on page 17 for more information.
1.3
IEC Regulations QDR Series X-ray Bone Densitometers comply with the requirements of IEC 60601-1. The classification of the QDR Series X-ray Bone Densitometers under this specification is Class 1, Type B. The QDR Series comply with IEC 60601-1-3 except for Section 29.205.2 which specifies "...focal spot to skin distances (FSSDs) of 45 cm or more in normal use." The QDR Series FSSD, which is approximately 42.5 cm, has been selected to provide optimum spatial resolution and precision with minimum patient exposure. The QDR Series comply with the following IEC standards: IEC 60601-1 2014
IEC 60601-2-28 2010
IEC 60601-1-2 2014
IEC 60825-1 2014
IEC 60601-1-3 2013
IEC 60601-1-6 2013
Software used in the QDR Series was developed using IEC 62304 as a guide.
