PETMRI Body Composition Analyzer for Dogs and Pets

The seminar on "The application of NMR techniques on the body composition of live animals", was held on 14 - 15 lune, 1988 at the Bundesforschungsanstalt für Landwirtschaft (FAL), Institut für Tierzucht und Tierverhalten, Mariensee, Germany. This was the third in aseries of meetings organized in the framework of the European Communities (EC) programme for the coordination of agricultural research. The earlier meetings were on "In vivo estimation of body composition", in 1981 in Denmark, and "In vivo measurements of body composition in meat animals", in 1983 in the UK.. The emphasis of the Mariensee meeting on the application of nuclear magnetic resonance techniques benefitted greatly from new equipment just installed at the Institute. Furthermore it was made clear that this type of large-scale facility, which is not readily found elsewhere, could be made available to promote international collaboration in animal science. After discussing the basic principles of the NMR technique and comparing it with alternative, non-destructive methods of body composition analyses, the programme of the Mariensee group was discussed. The obvious advantages of the NMR technique were acknowledged and will clearly have to be weighed against the rather high investment costs for the equipment at present
The PetMRI™’s utilization of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Relaxometry, also referred to as Quantitative Magnetic Resonance (QMR) technology, takes direct measurements of total body fat, lean mass, free water, and total body water. The PETMRI™ measurements are the most precise and accurate Body Composition Analysis (BCA) method available today, validated versus chemical analysis in several different published studies. PETMRI™ results are also highly correlated with those obtained by DXA, but PETMRI™ has important advantages over other existing BCA methods.
Key PETMRI™ Advantages
Live subjects, no anesthesia required:
This reduces the impact which anesthesia may have on the research subject.
No radiation or toxicity issues:
Infants, children, and pregnant women can use this technology with perfect safety. Regular and repeated measurement over time have no side effects.
Fast and easy:
The typical duration of a single PETMRI™ measurement is 0.5 – 3.2 minutes, depending on the precision option.
Fat and lean are independently measured:
Unlike DXA, which measures the fat to lean ratio.
Affordable, comfortable, simple:
PETMRI™ Analyzers are much less expensive than conventional MRI, are completely silent, and do not require advanced training to use.
PETMRI™ is the only technology on the market today which allows BCA to be conducted in such a short period of time, with such a high level of precision, without the need for anesthesia or sedation of the test subjects, with the subjects entirely comfortable during and in preparation for the measurement, and with no radiation to be considered a health issue. It is therefore possible to monitor fat changes over time with repeated measurements taken regularly – every hour if required – and over the treatment period. This allows accurate monitoring of obesity, and detecting minimal changes in body composition due to treatment, natural change, diet, drug treatment, and other forms of intervention.
Via PETMRI software our goal is to provide one-stop shopping for all of your pet care needs: quality pet food and nutrition advise; and doctor recommended pet supplies. Premium Pet Food; Prescription Diets;
PETMRI™ Analyzers are exceedingly easy to operate. A training period of one hour is sufficient for individuals without prior knowledge.
Numeric results are stored and can be viewed again later at any time, as well as extracted either into htlm or PDF as reports
