Prospective Respiratory Gated Carbon Nanotube Micro Computed Tomography
Academic Radiology, 2011 Challenges remain in the imaging of the lungs of free-breathing mice. Though computed tomography (CT) is near optimal from a contrast perspective, the rapid respiration rate, limited temporal resolution and inflexible x-ray pulse control of most micro-CT (mCT) scanners limits their utility in pulmonary imaging.

Regional diversity in the murine cortical vascular network is revealed by synchrotron X-ray tomography and is amplified with age [PDF]
, 2018 Cortical bone is permeated by a system of pores, occupied by the blood supply and osteocytes. With ageing, bone mass reduction and disruption of the microstructure are associated with reduced vascular supply.

Monte Carlo Simulation for Polychromatic X-ray Fluorescence Computed Tomography with Sheet-Beam Geometry [PDF]
, 2017 X-ray fluorescence computed tomography based on sheet-beam can save a huge amount of time to obtain a whole set of projections using synchrotron. However, it is clearly unpractical for most biomedical research laboratories. In this paper, polychromatic X-

Detection of trabecular bone microdamage by micro-computed tomography [PDF]
Journal of Biomechanics, 2007 Microdamage is an important component of bone quality and affects bone remodeling. Improved techniques to assess microdamage without the need for histological sectioning would provide insight into the role of microdamage in trabecular bone strength by allowing the spatial distribution of damage within the trabecular microstructure to be measured ...
