Yes. A safe sedation time for a mouse is a maximum of about 7-10 minutes. With an image acquisition time for the total body of less than five minutes, the PIXImus can safely handle mice in vivo. Results directly measured are bone mineral density (BMD) and %Fat (of tissue). From these results the PIXImus can compute bone, fat and lean mass. Results today, without sacrificing the animal!
