Figure 3. Skeletal system-specific tests can identify bone disease in marmosets.

Figure 3

(A) Example of the initial radiographic image (left panel) and analyzed image (right panel) of an animal with bone disease, with BRF calculated from the distal quarter of each femur (white arrows). (B) BRF values in marmosets diagnosed with bone disease or with no bone disease at necropsy. (C) PTH levels in marmosets diagnosed with bone disease or with no bone disease at necropsy. BRF  =  bone radiodensity fraction, PTH  =  parathyroid hormone. Solid horizontal lines represent median values for each group of data points, dotted horizontal lines denote cutoff values to distinguish animals with bone disease.
