Watch a hands-on demonstration of the iNSiGHT, DXA imaging system [1] for body composition analysis.

During this live demonstration, we showed the full imaging and measurement capabilities of the iNSiGHT system. These measurements included:

  • Bone mineral density in g/cm2
  • Bone mineral content in g
  • Bone area in cm2
  • Tissue area in cm2
  • Fat tissue as percentage and weight in % and g
  • Lean tissue as percentage and weight in % and g
  • Total weight g
  • Additionally, specific bone length measurements can be drawn on the 2D x-ray image
 

About the iNSiGHT DXA System:

The iNSiGHT is a fully functional DXA (DEXA, dual energy x-ray absorptiometry) system, designed specifically for preclinical research applications. The DXA technology provides quantification of body composition, such as bone mineral density, and measures of lean and fat mass.
