Description

The purpose of this acquisition is to provide the NIH Mouse Imaging Facility (MIF) with  hardware and software extended warranty maintenance support for its InAlyzer DEXA  Scanner. This equipment uses Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA or DXA) to  measure bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition (BMC, FAT, LEAN) of subjects  for ongoing biomedical research studies of human conditions. This system is a highthroughput device. With its speed and low radiation dose it allows longitudinal surveys of  subjects; therefore, it can screen subjects to determine which subjects are best suited for  higher resolution, more time consumptive imaging modalities like microCT that has a  significantly longer acquisition data processing times. Together with our current scanners,  DEXA use will increase the amount of imaging information available to researchers, while  also saving time and allowing focused research on a targeted subset of subjects.  This machine is used for ongoing approved research studies that began prior to January 20,  2025. It is vital that this machine is properly maintained at the highest gold standards for  accurate research data acquisition. This maintenance is necessary to support ongoing  research studies so that this work can continue, and investigators do not lose investment in  these ongoing studies. The DEXA saves researchers time and money because the subjects  can be studied longitudinally.
