Alterations in bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) were investigated in the pelvis region throughout the progression of osteoporosis (0 M, 3 M and 8 M). Lunar prodigy software (version 13.40, GE Healthcare, Darmstadt, Germany) was used to carry out the scans. Device calibration was carried out prior to scans according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The sheep was anaesthetized and placed under intubation in prone position with splayed limbs. The neck and head were adjusted and fixated using the attenuation free accessories. A whole-body scan was carried out by DXA (lunar prodigy, GE Healthcare, Munich, Germany).
