The interest in using small animal models of human disease has produced a need to design
a CT system at a microscopic level comparable to that achievable in a clinical CT in human …

Many types of monochromatic X-ray CT with synchrotron radiation (SR-CT) is being
developed in the biomedical fields because of its' sufficient X-ray flux and tunability of …

Objective: We describe a monochromatic X-ray CT system using synchrotron radiation,
which has been constructed employing a vertical wiggler beam line at the National …

The interest in small animal models of human diseases has generated a need to design a
computed tomography (CT) system that operates at a microscopic level. It is particularly …

Pulmonary research is challenging because of the lack of visualization of lung airspace by
commonly used imaging modalities. Cyclic breathing and motion artifacts due to …

Airway is a complex branching structure of many compliant tubes, and then airway geometry
and compliance have many biomechanical and clinical implications. In this study, we …

Volumetric data at micrometer level resolution can be acquired within a few minutes using
synchrotron-radiation-based tomographic microscopy. The field of view along the rotation …

Rats and chicken embryos were imaged in vivo with a prototype multiple energy computed
tomography (MECT) system using monochromatized X-rays from the X17 superconducting …

Imaging plays an important role as a research tool in medicine and biology. In particular,
conventional X-ray computed tomography (CT), which was developed by Hounsfield in …

We validate the computer-based simulation tools developed in our laboratory for use in high-
resolution CT research. The 4D NURBS-based cardiac-torso (NCAT) phantom was …
