Neonatal Body Composition: Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and Three-Dimensional Chemical Shift Imaging versus Chemical Analysis in Piglets
Abstract
An animal study to evaluate dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and spectroscopy for measurement of neonatal body composition was performed. Twenty-three piglets with body weights ranging from 848 to 7550 g were used. After measuring total body water, animals were killed and body composition was assessed using DXA and MR (1.5 T; MR imaging, T1-weighted sagittal spin-echo sequence; MR spectroscopy, …
