Imaging Study Inquiries
High Resolution Bone and Skeletal Analysis by means of microCT based Virtual Histology™ is the perfect tool for characterizing bone structures and skeletal anatomy in a variety of animal models. As a result of this powerful modality and software application, exquisite visualizations in 2D/3D now make quantitative analysis fast, reproducible and available in significantly less time than traditional skeletal preps.
High Resolution Bone & Skeletal Imaging Capabilities
- Rapid, non-destructive, high resolution scans with isometric voxel resolution of 6µm-72µm
- 2D/3D VFF data, still images and movies
- Capable of imaging small and large bone structures up to 35mm diameter by 70mm length
- Compatible with a variety of species including mice, rats and rabbits and many others
- Professional Analysis Available
High Resolution Bone and Skeletal Imaging Benefits
- Permits quantitative analysis involving volume, shape, dimension, and distance as well as bone mineral density and bone mineral content
- Provides 3D visualization enabling quantitative analysis of complex skeletal features
- Enables simultaneous 3D analysis of control and subject specimen for side-by-side comparison
- Allows the detection and assessment of both gross and subtle changes in developmental growth patterns in animal models
- Comparable to traditional skeletal prep in terms of visualization, enabling segmentation of individual skeletal features for detailed analysis
- Facilitates increased understanding of off target genetic effects of drug and chemical products under development
- Creates archival datasets for comparative studies and peer review
