Micro-CT Imaging

Micro-CT Scan

Animal or Sample Preparation for Imaging

Preparation for micro-CT imaging is crucial for obtaining accurate and high-quality images. The type of preparation required will depend on the type of sample or animal being imaged. For animal imaging, this may include proper positioning, immobilization, and grooming to reduce movement during the scan. For sample imaging, proper preparation may include cleaning, embedding, and sectioning the sample for optimal imaging.

Scan Protocol Design

Scan protocol design is a key aspect of micro-CT imaging as it determines the quality and resolution of the images. The scan protocol must be customized to match the specific imaging goals, sample size, composition, and desired spatial and temporal resolution. A variety of parameters, such as x-ray energy, exposure time, and image acquisition mode, must be carefully considered and optimized for each individual imaging experiment. The ultimate goal of the scan protocol design is to ensure the highest quality images while minimizing the exposure of the sample to ionizing radiation.

Contrast Agent Injection

Contrast agents are commonly used in micro-CT imaging to enhance the visualization of internal structures and tissues. The injection of the contrast agent is carefully planned and executed by our experienced team to ensure optimal results. The type and amount of contrast agent used can vary depending on the specific imaging goals and the individual sample’s needs. The use of contrast agents in micro-CT imaging can greatly improve the clarity and detail of the images, providing valuable information for research and analysis.

Scan and Image Analysis

The final step in the micro-CT imaging procedure is performing the scan and analyzing the images. Scanning involves capturing multiple X-ray images at different angles to produce high-resolution 3D images of the sample. Image analysis involves processing the images to extract meaningful information, such as measuring bone density, evaluating tissue structure, and detecting pathological changes. Our highly skilled professionals use state-of-the-art software and techniques to accurately analyze the images and provide valuable insights into the sample being studied. This information can be used to support research and development, quality control, and clinical decision-making.
