Ge explore locus sp micro ct scanner

Manufactured by GE Healthcare

Sourced in United States

The GE eXplore Locus SP Micro-CT Scanner is a compact, high-resolution imaging system designed for preclinical research applications. The scanner utilizes X-ray computed tomography (CT) technology to capture detailed 3D images of small animal specimens or other small-scale samples. The system provides non-invasive, high-contrast imaging capabilities to support a variety of research objectives.

Micro-CT Analysis of Tibial Bone Morphometry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Tibias were fixed in 10% buffered formalin at 4°C overnight and stored in 70% ethanol at 4°C until use. For analyses, tibias were embedded in methylmethacrylate and then scanned with a GE eXplore Locus SP Micro-CT Scanner (GE Healthcare, Pittsburgh, PA, USA) using a 12-μm voxel protocol and the following scan parameters: 80 kV, 80 μA, and 2960 ms exposure time. Bone density was normalized with an acrylic calibration phantom that included densities equivalent to air, water, and bone. Image reconstructions and analyses were performed with Microview and an Advanced Bone Application database (version 2.3; GE Healthcare). Mineralized tissue was segregated from air or soft tissue, based on a threshold of 1758 HU [corresponding to BMD = 300 mg hydroxyapatite acid/cm³]. Trabecular morphometry was characterized by measuring the fraction of bone volume/total volume (BV/TV), the trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), the trabecular number (Tb.N), and the trabecular separation (Tb.Sp).

Maxillary Molar Extraction Socket Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

The maxillary alveolar bone was fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 48 hours, and then transferred to 70% alcohol at 4°C until use. The interradicular bone of the maxillary M1s was scanned and analysed. The extraction sockets were scanned using a GE eXplore Locus SP Micro‐CT Scanner (GE Healthcare). Image reconstructions and analyses of the mesial roots of the maxillary first molar extraction sockets were segmented by semi‐manual contouring and analysed using Microview and an Advanced Bone Application database (version 2.3; GE Healthcare). Trabecular parameters were identified by the direct‐measures technique.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
