Horizon is a family of DXA systems for bone densitometry. Selected configurations with body-composition software report fat, lean and bone components. A designation without a model letter does not establish which applications a location has available.
Hologic Horizon Wi: when to consider it
Horizon Wi is a specific Hologic Horizon DXA model. Its technical manual lists spine, hip, forearm and whole-body scanning. Fat and lean-tissue analysis depends on the relevant application and the service actually offered.
