Micro-computed tomography (micro-ct)

What are the limitations of micro-CT?

Although dense structures such as bones can be visualised without any specific preparation [22], a limitation of micro-CT scanners is the low contrast of soft tissues due to low X-ray absorption, which can be overcome using contrast agents [23,24] (for a comprehensive list of contrast agents, see [9])..

What is a micro-CT scan?

Microcomputed tomography (microCT or μCT) is a non-destructive imaging tool for the production of high-resolution three-dimensional (.

What is micro-CT in dentistry?

Micro-CT is a tool that enables 3-dimensional imaging on a small scale with very high resolution.
In this method, there is no need for sample preparation or slicing.
Therefore, it is possible to examine the internal structure of tissue and the internal adaptation of materials to surfaces without destroying them..
