micro-Computed Tomography Core
The HSS micro-Computed Tomography (microCT) Core provides high-resolution assessments of density, geometry and microarchitecture of mineralized tissues, such as bones and teeth, calcification as result of pathology, or soft tissues and biomaterials stained with radiographic contrast media.
Studies performed by the HSS microCT Core include:
- density and architecture analysis of human biopsies
- phenotype characterization of bones and teeth in animal models
- studies of particle-induced osteolysis
- characterization of dystrophic calcifications
- visualization of bone implants
- biomaterial characterization
- vascular mapping
