Bone Densitometry

Representative Applications

  • Mouse live imaging
  • Femur/tibia/vertebra ROI
  • Ex vivo imaging: canine palate
  • Ex vivo imaging: rabbit knee/mandible

Instrumentation

This dedicated small animal densitometer enables monitoring over time of live mice, as well as ex vivo studies requiring assessment of bone mineral density. Multiple Regions of Interest (ROI) can be described on each sample. Results are provided in terms of bone mineral density (g/cm2), bone mineral content (g), fat and lean tissue content (g).

Specifications
  • Imaging area: 100 x 80mm
  • Focal spot size: 0.25 x 0.25mm
  • Energy: 80kV
  • Current: 400µA
