Dr G Z Taicher, one of the inventors of Quantitative magnetic resonance (QMR), a nuclear magnetic resonance-based method for measuring the fat, lean, and water content of the total body of the live animal, has visited China from 8 to 10 March.  Dr Taicher has investigated the use of by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to measure body composition for more than 30 years, holder of a number of patents, and is very experienced in using NMR for measurement in vivo components. He has founded the EchoMRI for promoting the technology. The EchoMRI system is able to measure the fat/ lean/ Total Body Water/ Free water in an organ or biopsy sample, or animal range from Drosophila, rat, bird, pig, to human. Animals undergoing EchoMRI for body composition measurement do not need to be anesthetized and result can be obtained in about to 2 minutes. The data obtained are of the highest quality - Precise), Accurate), Specific, and Sensitivity. Since the launching of the system, it has soon become the gold standard for measurement body composition. Besides the above advantages, EchoMRI system is not temperature sensitive and users can simply switch on the system for immediate usage without lengthy warming up procedure. The system use standard material for calibration and results from different studies can be compared directly. So far, there are more than 300 leading MNCs, CRO, and universities are using the system!
