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.

Micro-CT technology enables investigators to nondestructively obtain in-depth 3D structure and quantitative data of hard and soft tissues of small animals and other composite materials as well.
