Hologic makes a great Bone Densitometer. As a matter of fact, from their QDR-4500 series introduced in 1995, to their Discovery series, still manufactured today, Hologic has arguably had the most reliable DEXA scanner on the market.

Physicians, practice managers, clinics, and hospitals are counting down to October 1, 2015, the day that new health care coding requirements go into effect. The new catalog of codes, from the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases – or ICD-10, for short – will include 80,000 diagnostic codes, up from the 14,000 codes that are currently used. Originally scheduled for use beginning October 2013, the Obama Administration delayed ICD-10 until October 2014, and then Congress kindly gave healthcare providers another year, until October 2015.

After a few hours of TLC, top-notch service, and careful testing, this serviceable road warrior was working perfectly and ready to get back on the road.
