Singleton Hospital, Swansea, has been offering DXA scanning to its patients for more than eighteen years and now has two systems; one at the hospital and the other a mobile, travelling to Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire to provide a local service.

The Hologic Discovery system seen in the picture has been the subject of a recent upgrade, bringing it into line with current systems.
