Our MRI device can be rotated, enabling the study of muscle, tendon and joint morphology during loading

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is used for muscle, joint and tendon morphological studies in populations of young and older individuals of varying physical activity levels (from competitive athletes to bed-ridden individuals), body composition and health status.

Dual X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) is used for estimating appendicular muscle, fat and bone mass in populations of young and older individuals of varying physical activity levels and health status.

Dual X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) is used for estimating appendicular muscle, fat and bone mass in populations of young and older individuals of varying physical activity levels and health status.

Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (pQCT) is used for assessing bone density of the upper and lower extremities.
