Preclinical Contrast Agents vs Clinical Agents in Small Animal Imaging
Preclinical Contrast Agents vs Clinical Agents in Small Animal Imaging Preclinical contrast agents optimized for small animal imaging can help researchers better align signal behavior, circulation time, dosing, and modality-specific endpoints across MRI, CT, ultrasound,
DXA and Micro-CT in Preclinical Orthopaedics | A Complementary Imaging Workflow
Integrating In Vivo DEXA/DXA and Ex Vivo Micro-CT in Preclinical Orthopaedics Preclinical orthopaedic studies often require both longitudinal monitoring and detailed structural analysis to fully understand skeletal changes. Integrating DXA and micro-CT in preclinical orthopaedics
Imaging Body Composition in the GLP-1RA Era: Why MRI Adds Value Beyond DEXA
Unless you have been hibernating for the past few years, it has been impossible to miss the revolution in obesity and metabolic disorder management brought about by GLP-1 therapies. GLP-1 receptor agonists, and newer dual
Scintica Morning Coffee Chat Episode 2: FAQ – Installing & Operating the iNSiGHT DXA System
https://youtu.be/Yi0lydfNs5I In this episode of Scintica Morning Coffee Chat, we examine the technical and operational requirements for successfully integrating preclinical Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) system -- namely the iNSiGHT DXA -- into the lab. This discussion addresses critical phases of implementation, including installation,
The Future of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs): Essential Insights on Laser-Assisted Bioprinting
As the push for New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) accelerates worldwide, pharmaceutical laboratories and the dermo-cosmetics industry are no longer just exploring alternatives to animal testing; they are actively seeking robust, scalable, and most importantly human-relevant
