Abstract
X-ray computer aided tomography (CAT) is shown to be a unique method of obtaining data pertaining to body composition in live animals. Comprehensive data were obtained from CAT images, dissection and chemical analysis of 5 sheep. Tissue (fat, lean and bone) volumes are accurately determined. Reference cross-sections are shown to be useful predictors of whole body composition.
