BSH Introduces Whole-Body DXA Scanner: The PRIMUS Advantage

A New Era in Diagnostic Imaging

Bahrain Specialist Hospital proudly announces the installation of the whole-body DXA scanner — the PRIMUS system — redefining diagnostic precision in bone health and body composition analysis.

Powered by advanced Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) technology, PRIMUS offers detailed assessment of Bone Mineral Density (BMD), body composition, and bone morphology, all through efficient scanning of the whole body or specific regions. This breakthrough is a testament to BSH’s commitment to bringing world-class innovation to the forefront of patient care.

Designed for Excellence:

PRIMUS leverages Fan Beam DXA technology, delivering faster, wider coverage with multi-channel detectors for seamless whole-body measurement. Its sleek touch-screen console panel with vibrant LED cues enhances the operator’s experience — combining technical sophistication with user-friendly control.

Precise and Versatile Measurements:

Whether it’s the AP Spine, Dual Femur, Forearm, or Lateral Spine, PRIMUS provides high-resolution BMD readings. In body composition analysis, it accurately evaluates fat mass, lean mass, and overall weight, with advanced features including Visceral Fat Area (VFA) detection, Orthopedic assessments, Hip analysis, FRAX scoring, and Color Mapping.

Speed Meets Comfort:

With its widened scan area and faster imaging process, PRIMUS shortens examination time — making it more convenient for both patients and practitioners while preserving diagnostic accuracy.

This installation marks a new chapter in Bahrain’s diagnostic capability — one where cutting-edge imaging meets compassionate care. At BSH, your health is always at the center of innovation.
