Marker-based XROMM analysis of mastication in minipigs
In this study we are using marker-based X-ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology (XROMM) to visualize and measure lower jaw movements (relative to the skull) during mastication in miniature swine (Sinclair strain).
Duck Feeding

Kinematics of the quadrate bone during feeding in mallard ducks
In this study we are using X-ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology (XROMM) to study the movements of the quadrate and their effects on articulating bones during filter feeding in mallard ducks, Anas platyrhynchos.
Iguana Breathing

Rib kinematics & intercostal muscle strain during breathing in Iguana iguana
In this study we are using X-ray Reconstruction of Moving Morphology (XROMM) to create precise and accurate animations of 3D rib motion during deep breathing in green iguanas, Iguana iguana.
