Johnson VA Medical Center (Charleston). This system will allow for simultaneous high-resolution imaging and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) analysis in preclinical research. The new system will operate as part of the VA Small Animal Imaging Core, providing a much-needed resource for animal models of bone disease, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic disease in both mice and rats. The following equipment will be purchased:ITEM INFORMATIONITEM NUMBERDESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES/SERVICESQUANTITYUNIT0001SHARED RESOURCE - EQUIPMENT iNSiGHT Small Animal Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) System The iNSiGHT is a small animal DXA system used to study body composition in a wide variety of animal models and tissues. Includes a 1-year warranty and a preventative maintenance visit in year 2. LOCAL STOCK NUMBER: OsInDXA-Sys1.00EA0002iNSiGHT Digital Radiography (DR) Mode Digital radiography (DR) is an available mode on the iNsIGHT system, different from the dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) mode. This mode takes advantage of the digital x-ray detector within the system to provide an x-ray image from a single energy source. Settings can range from energies of 40\R\80 KeV, currents of 0.1\R\0.8 mA, and acquisition times of 5\R\60 seconds.

The VA Small Animal Imaging Core currently operates a Skyscan 1176 Micro-CT, which provides x-ray imaging and the ability to construct 3-D models of specific hard tissues/regions of interest. However, traditional micro-CT imaging is limited by a number of factors, including long imaging sessions (>45 minutes per animal/session) to attain resolution of RPO EAST (36C24E) VA Service Area Organization East 15212 323 NORTH SHORE DRIVE SUITE 500 PITTSBURGH PA 15212 Ms. Millicent Covert, Contracting Officer, Phone (Will not take calls), Email millicent.covert@va.gov
