A new technique for precisely and accurately measuring lumbar spine bone mineral density in mice using clinical dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)

Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) is effective in measuring bone mineral density (BMD) in mice for early detection of osteoporosis. However, scanners designed for use with small animals (i.e. PIXImus) are very expensive. Used human DXA machines are cheaper to obtain, but analysis of scans from...
