How Analyze was Used
“The values set for performing Quantum FX micro-CT were as follows: 90 kVp and 180 μA, with a field of view of 40×40×40 mm for 2 min. Analyze 12.0 software (Analyze Direct,
Stillwell, KS, USA) was used to reproduce the CT scans; back scan sizes were set at 512 matrix and 0.078 mm voxel. Data were analyzed using Analyze 12.0 to create images. The volume of fat was
measured by manually delineating the two-dimensional images within the threshold range of 1,000 to 2,100 of interest, and then extrapolating to obtain the three-dimensional volume. The mice were placed under anesthesia using carbon dioxide gas before scanning them via Quantum FX micro-CT (Perkin Elmer).”
