Micro-CT will have a profound influence on the accumulation of anatomical and
physiological phenotypic changes in natural and transgenetic mouse models. Longitudinal …

Computed tomography (CT) of the lung has made major advances in hardware and software
over the last decade. The human lung can now be imaged rapidly and volumetrically, with …

Purpose: Small animal micro‐CT imaging is being used increasingly in preclinical
biomedical research to provide phenotypic descriptions of genomic models. Most of this …

Before microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) can be exploited to its full potential for
longitudinal monitoring of transgenic and experimental mouse models of lung diseases …

Technological advances in micro-CT scanners have introduced dynamic, flat-panel
scanners, which allow the acquisition of volume images in a few seconds. However, motion …

Microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) is ideal for quantifying pulmonary disease because
of the inherent contrast between tissue and air that exists in the lungs. Both in vivo and in …

Mouse models are important for pulmonary research to gain insight into structure and
function in normal and diseased states, thereby extending knowledge of human disease …

MicroCT is a technology that allows for obtaining images with resolution equivalent to
histological sections from volumes of tissue that would be prohibitive to examine by classical …

Mouse models are becoming instrumental for the study of lung disease. Due to its resolution
and low cost, high resolution Computed Tomography (micro-CT) is a very adequate …

Microcomputed tomography (Micro‐CT) has the potential to noninvasively image the
structure of organs in rodent models with high spatial resolution and relatively short image …
