Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A modern DXA (Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scanning system typically includes a workstation for data analysis, an x-ray tube for generating x-rays, an x-ray detector for capturing images, a quality control (QC) phantom for calibration and ensuring accuracy, and positioning aides to help properly position the patient. It does not typically include a Bucky assembly or an Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) system with three fields, which are more commonly associated with general radiography systems.
