Micro Computed Tomography

Representative Applications

Quantitation of trabecular bone 3d architecture:

• Bone Volume
• Bone surface
• SMI (structure model index)
• Trabecular pattern factor, thickness and separation
• Porosity
• BMD

Ex.: Limb, vertebrae, cranial vault and jaw.

• 3D images and slides
• 2D cross sections

Ex.: Shoulder and knee joint or tibia and mandible regeneration.

• Showing inner
• micro structure
• Showing outer surface

Ex.: Cat inner ear, dog palate regeneration or bone cement.

The µmCT scan is a non-destructive micro tomograhpic imaging at a spatial resolution with respect to medical computed tomography.

Energy range: 20 to 100kV Current range: 0 to 250µA Resolution range: 4.5-20µm Detector: 1024 X 1024 pixels 12-bit digital cooled CCD-camera Maximum sample size : < 20 mm
