Abstract

This paper shows examples of micro anatomical structure imaging using a desktop micro-focus X-ray CT scanner. Currently clinical X-ray CT scanners can take CT images in 0.5mm to 1mm per voxel in resolution. Such scanner can take anatomical structures close to image resolution of scanners. Micro-focus X-ray CT (micro CT) scanner can take CT images of 1μm per voxel to 50μm per voxel in resolution. Such scanner enables us to explore micro anatomical structures. This paper shows several examples of micro CT images of lung and heart specimens with discussion on future direction.
