Flagship Model of Hologic's Bone Densitometers

The Discovery-C is really one of your very best choices for a Bone Densitometer, whether you are a clinic, private practice or even hospital-based. The system is upgradeable via software to Hologic's latest, and the system itself is a very solid performer. Reliability is excellent, parts support is terrific in the secondary market, and the system is fairly easy to maintain.
