Nondestructive analysis of urinary calculi using micro computed tomography
BACKGROUND Micro computed tomography (micro CT) has been shown to provide exceptionally high quality imaging of the fine structural detail within urinary calculi. We tested the idea that micro CT might also be used to identify the mineral composition of urinary stones non-destructively. METHODS Micro CT x-ray attenuation values were measured for mineral that was positively identified by infra...
متن کاملThree-dimensional morphometric ontogeny of mollusc shells by micro-computed tomography and geometric analysis
As one of the essential components of the fossil record, shells of molluscs provide crucial data for taxonomic, phylogenetic or evolutionary studies. The mollusc shell has often very few discrete morphological characters, and its most important character is its three-dimensional (3-D) geometry, which is well diversified, continuous and highly integrated. However, standard morphometric methods r...
متن کاملCalcified brain metastases: demonstration by computed tomography.
Seven patients are reported with calcification in brain metastases. The calcification was punctate, curvilinear, or amorphous and sometimes closely simulated a hemorrhage. The attenuation values were 50-105 Hounsfield units before administration of contrast material. Although various degrees of contrast enhancement were noted in the noncalcified parts of the metastases, slight or no enhancement...
متن کاملQuantification of arthritic bone degradation by analysis of 3D micro-computed tomography data
The use of animal models of arthritis is a key component in the evaluation of therapeutic strategies against the human disease rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Here we present quantitative measurements of bone degradation characterised by the cortical bone profile using glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (G6PI) induced arthritis. We applied micro-computed tomography (μCT) during three arthritis experiment...
متن کاملAnalysis of 3D bone ingrowth into polymer scaffolds via micro-computed tomography imaging.
This paper illustrates the utility of micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) to study the process of tissue engineered bone growth. A micro-CT facility for imaging and visualising biomaterials in three dimensions (3D) is described. The facility is capable of acquiring 3D images made up of 2000(3) voxels on specimens up to 60mm in extent with resolutions down to 2 microm. This allows the 3D struct...
