The unique architecture of the mammalian lung is required for adaptation to air breathing at
birth and thereafter. Understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms controlling its …

Synchrotron radiation offers unique properties of coherence, utilized in phase-contrast
imaging, and high flux as well as a wide energy spectrum which allow the selection of very …

Synchrotron X-rays can be used to obtain highly detailed images of parts of the lung.
However, micro-motion artifacts induced by such as cardiac motion impede quantitative …

X-ray tomographic microscopy is a well-established analysis technique in different fields of
the Earth Sciences to access volumetric information of the internal microstructure of a large …

X-ray imaging enables the study of morphodynamic and physiological processes in living
organisms. However, the required photon flux increases with the desired spatial resolution …

In this article, we present an X-ray tomographic imaging method that is well suited for
pulmonary disease studies in animal models to resolve the full pathway from gas intake to …

Phase-contrast X-ray lung imaging has broken new ground in preclinical respiratory
research by improving contrast at air/tissue interfaces. To minimize blur from respiratory …

Small-animal physiology studies are typically complicated, but the level of complexity is
greatly increased when performing live-animal X-ray imaging studies at synchrotron and …

The study of lung mechanics is important to futureproof resilience against potential novel
threats to lung health. Medical imaging provides insight to lung function. High-resolution …

Respiratory X-ray imaging enhanced by phase contrast has shown improved airway
visualization in animal models. Limitations in current X-ray technology have nevertheless …
