DEXA and MRI for Body Composition

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

A validated mouse DEXA instrument (Lunar PIXImus2 Densitometer; GE Medical-Systems) at Washington University Diabetes Phenotyping Core was used to measure bone mass density (BMD; amount of minerals within bone) and percentage of fat (whole-body) in anesthetized animals^{12 (link)}. Whole body DEXA analysis for BMD and percentage of body fat was performed by using a software provided by the instrument (inter-assay CV; 0.65%). A magnetic resonance imaging EchoMRI Instrument (Echo Medical Systems, Houston, TX) at Washington University Diabetes Phenotyping Core was used for defining the percentage body fat and lean mass in awake animals.

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.
