QPS On-Site DEXA Scanning Service for Your Next Clinical Trial

Partner with a CRO That Delivers Precision, Compliance, and Speed

QPS now features a Hologic W DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) system, providing state-of-the-art DEXA scanning services directly on-site to streamline your clinical trials. Our fully compliant DEXA unit reduces logistical hurdles and ensures fast, reliable, and reproducible body composition measurements. Accurately measuring fat mass, lean mass, visceral fat, and bone mineral density is critical to support body composition endpoint requirements in Phase I-IV clinical trials for obesity, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and more.

Why QPS for DEXA Scanning Services?

GOLD STANDARD ACCURACY

QPS partners with Hologic to ensure the gold standard of accuracy.

Gold-Standard Accuracy

QPS’s Hologic W DEXA system is the industry gold standard for body composition and bone mineral density measurement. It provides unparalleled precision in quantifying fat mass, lean mass, visceral fat, and bone mineral density—critical endpoints in obesity, diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis trials.
  • QPS uses specialized Hologic software that includes advanced analysis for body composition and bone mineral density.
  • This software enables customizable assessments to match your protocol’s endpoints, whether you need baseline scans or longitudinal tracking of fat distribution, lean mass, or bone density.

FULLY IN-HOUSE IMAGING CAPABILITY

DEXA units are located within the QPS state-of-the-art clinical units.

Fully In-House Imaging Capability

QPS DEXA scanners are located within our clinical trial units. Your subjects avoid extra travel while your study stays on time and on budget, all while operating 7 days a week, year-round.
  • No third-party scheduling conflicts or delays
  • Operating 7 days a week, 12 months of the year, to keep your study on track
  • Conveniently located within the clinical trial units where study subjects are housed.

REDUCED PATIENT BURDEN

The convenience of on-site DEXA units means less travel and scheduling burden on patients.

Reduced Patient Burden

By offering in-house imaging, QPS minimizes study subject travel and inconvenience. This results in no outsourcing, no third-party scheduling conflicts, and no waiting behind other institutions' patient queues.
  • Avoids institutional queues and study subject travel burdens
  • Faster recruitment and streamlined assessments mean lower operational costs and better patient satisfaction.

IMPROVED RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION

Improved patient convenience drives better study subject recruitment and retention.

Improved Recruitment and Retention

This makes participation more appealing and improves retention rates throughout the trial.
  • On-site DEXA scanning minimizes patient travel and improves retention rates
  • Convenience improves study subject satisfaction and retention rates across the study duration

ACCELERATED TIMELINES

The convenience of on-site DEXA scanning means studies can be completed in a more timely manner.

Accelerated Timelines

By integrating imaging into QPS operations, we streamline scheduling, eliminate lost timepoints due to competing imaging center loads, and reduce subject burden. This accelerates study start-up and execution without compromising quality.
  • Integrated directly into QPS operations for seamless scheduling
  • Reduces lost timepoints and subject burden
  • Supports faster study start-up and execution

ENHANCED DATA QUALITY AND OVERSIGHT

PIs, radiologists and QA personnel on-site in the clinical trials unit supports enhanced data quality and oversight.

Enhanced Data Quality and Oversight

QPS site has certified, trained staff who follow standardized imaging protocols to ensure consistent, high-quality, and reproducible data. The QPS Principal Investigator (PI), alongside a qualified radiologist, are on-site to review imaging protocols and results as needed, ensuring GCP-compliant interpretation and integration into your study data.
  • Our team of trained radiology technologists and quality control specialists ensures high-quality, GCP-compliant data collection
  • Standardized acquisition protocols
  • PI oversight with radiologist collaboration at the QPS site for GCP-compliant interpretation
  • Results integrated smoothly into your study data

ROBUST IT SYSTEMS

Dedicated servers with redundant daily backups maintain data integrity and security.
