This workshop explores research and peer-reviewed studies validating the iNSiGHT DEXA against other DEXA systems, NMR, and chemical analysis, positioning it as the ideal tool for your next study. The iNSiGHT DEXA is the only preclinical system available that has been fully validated against chemical carcass analysis, ashing, and scale weight, demonstrating strong correlation with gold-standard techniques. With a quick 25-second in vivo scan time and exceptional precision, the iNSiGHT DEXA offers researchers an efficient and accurate method for long-term monitoring of body and bone composition changes.
