The skeleton is scaffold upon which our bodies and many other animals are built. A number of disorders affect the skeletal system including developmental disorders, acute injuries, and metastatic bone cancer. Preclinical small animal models exist for many of these bone disorders. These models can serve as a platform for studying other genetic modifiers or potential therapeutics. However, conducting these studies often require sacrifice of the animals, dissection, and study via microscopy or ex-vivo CT analysis. By contrast, non-invasive imaging provides a resource for conducting longitudinal studies without sacrificing or harming the animal. In this webinar, we shall demonstrate how quantitative, small animal X-ray systems provide an ideal solution for non-invasive imaging a both the skeleton or soft tissue structures in preclinical animal models.
