"micro-DXA iNSiGHT" Cabinet Body Composition Analyzer for Lab Animals (VIDEO)
With over 20 years of dedicated experience and technology on DXA, we applied the technology into laboratory device and launched iNSiGHT
iNSiGHT DXA Osteosys, it offers bone mineral density, fat mass, lean mass, ultimate DR X-ray imaging, and many more. None Invasive DXA Technology
OsteoSys’ Solution; We have overcome this limitation by using 20-year expertise in human DXA technology. iNSiGHT measures the bone mineral density and assesses body composition in vivo for a longitudinal investigation to monitor changes in whole-body composition with growth and aging in the animal
Using non-invasive iNSiGHT, it is able to repeatedly scan cohorts of animals over several ages
Principle of the Technique: Based on DXA technology iNSiGHT measures the parameters on the molecular level that can be simplified in a 3-compartment model with fat mass (FM), non-bone lean mass (LM) and bone mineral content (BMC)
This technique assess FM, LM, BMC regionally and whole-body as well as it can measure whole-body bone mineral density (BMD)
ROI and the whole body: iNSiGHT offers the measurements as below for each ROI and the whole body:
- BMD(Bone Mineral Density) [g/cm2]
- AreaBMC (Bone Mineral Contents) [g] = BMD*Bone Area
- Bone Area [cm2] = AP area in image
- Tissue Area [cm2] =AP area in image
- Fat [%]= fat weight / total weight
- Fat [g] = fat mass
- Lean [g] = none fat soft tissue
- Total Weight [g] = fat + none fat soft tissue + BMC
