Women's imaging firm Hologic has signed an agreement with the University of Minnesota to be the exclusive provider of dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans via its Horizon system as part of a new initiative called Dexalytics Teams.
The project will provide sports science researchers and programs with body composition data obtained from DEXA exams, which can then be compared with sport- and position-specific standards for better athlete training, the company said.
Dexalytics Teams uses software developed at the University of Minnesota that incorporates more than 30 years of body composition research, according to Hologic.
