BMD and BMC Analysis Using DXA

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is an imaging technique that utilizes two different X-ray energy levels to measure bone density and body composition. By analyzing the absorption of X-rays through the body at these two energy levels, DXA can accurately distinguish between lean mass, fat mass, and bone mineral content.

DXA is widely employed for various applications, including assessing the risk of osteoporosis, monitoring changes in body composition, and studying the effects of diet, exercise, and disease on body fat and muscle mass.

The non-invasive nature and quick results make it an invaluable tool in preclinical research. The research conducted using this method provides data that informs us about health interventions and contributes to our understanding of metabolic health.

The XPERT® 80 X‑ray System, the PARAMETER® X‑ray System, and the PARAMETER® 3D Tomosynthesis System can be configured to be DIGIMUS compatible for the study of mice.
