Background The role of bone structure, one component of bone quality, has emerged as a
contributor to bone strength. The application of high-resolution imaging in evaluating bone …

Microcomputed tomography (microCT) has become a standard and essential tool for
quantifying structure-function relationships, disease progression, and regeneration in …

Synchrotron-based X-ray Tomographic Microscopy (SRXTM) is nowadays a powerful
technique for non-destructive, high-resolution investigations of a broad kind of materials …

Many fractures occur in teeth that have been altered, for example restored or endodontically
repaired. It is therefore essential to evaluate the structure and mechanical properties of …

Several major diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular abnormalities, may be linked to
pathological deposition of minerals or organic compounds in various tissues. 1− 3 Thus, the …

Degree of mineralization of bone (DMB) is a major intrinsic determinant of bone strength at
the tissue level but its contribution to the microhardness (Vickers indentation) at the …

Bone mineral density (BMD) measurements are critical in many research studies
investigating skeletal integrity. For pre-clinical research, micro-computed tomography (μCT) …

Bone collagen structure in normal and pathological tissues is presented using techniques of
thin section transmission electron microscopy and morphometry. In pathological tissue …

A bright μm-sized source of hard synchrotron x-rays (critical energy E crit> 30 keV) based on
the betatron oscillations of laser wakefield accelerated electrons has been developed. The …

X-ray tomography has been shown to provide insights into the internal structure of whole
cells that can't be obtained by any other means. With recent advances in instrumentation …
