Purpose Micron-scale computed tomography (micro-CT) imaging is a ubiquitous, cost-
effective, and non-invasive three-dimensional imaging modality. We review recent …

Impending major hardware advances in cardiac CT include three areas: ultra-high-
resolution (UHR) CT, photon-counting CT, and phase-contrast CT. Cardiac CT is a …

X-ray-based analytics are routinely applied in many fields, including physics, chemistry,
materials science, and engineering. The full potential of such techniques in the life sciences …

For the first time, we have used phase-contrast X-ray tomography to characterize the three-
dimensional (3d) structure of cardiac tissue from patients who succumbed to Covid-19. By …

High-contrast, high-resolution imaging of biomedical specimens is indispensable for
studying organ function and pathologies. Conventional histology, the gold standard for soft …

X-ray microtomography is a nondestructive, three-dimensional inspection technique applied
across a vast range of fields and disciplines, ranging from research to industrial …

Achilles tendons are mechanosensitive, and their complex hierarchical structure is in part
the result of the mechanical stimulation conveyed by the muscles. To fully understand how …

Cardiovascular research is in an ongoing quest for a superior imaging method to integrate
gross-anatomical information with microanatomy, combined with quantifiable parameters of …

The complex and highly organized structural arrangement of some five billion
cardiomyocytes directs the coordinated electrical activity and mechanical contraction of the …

Cardiovascular malformations and diseases are common but complex and often not yet fully
understood. To better understand the effects of structural and microstructural changes of the …
