Histomorphometry

Our state-of-the-art facilities include four image analysis systems capable of measuring all of the standard and user-defined static and dynamic (with fluorochrome labels) measurements for bone. Each system is operated by highly trained technical staff supervised by ACVP, RCPath and ECVP board-certified pathologists. Results are reported in accordance with the nomenclature set forth by the ASBMR, and our procedures have been validated for GLP compliance.
