GE Medical Systems Lunar

PROFILE If you're dense, Lunar will know it. GE Medical Systems Lunar develops bone densitometers -- X-ray or ultrasound scanning machines that measure bone density as a way of diagnosing osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases. The densitometers also aid doctors in fracture risk assessment and in monitoring patients' response to therapy. Lunar's DPX-NT (part of its Axial DEXA product line) uses X-rays to measure bone density in different areas of the body, while its Achilles Express ultrasound device measures bone density through the heel. Lunar markets its products to some 11,000 customers worldwide. The firm is a subsidiary of General Electric's GE Medical Systems division.  COMPETITION CompuMed, Inc. (CMPD) Hologic, Inc.
