What is Micro-CT?
Micro-computed tomography, better known as micro-CT or μCT, is an advanced imaging modality that offers high-resolution three-dimensional imaging of small objects in microscale. With the non-invasive features of this imaging technique, researchers and field professionals working on materials and biological specimens have been able to perceive and achieve amazing and fantastic internal details.
Applications of Micro-CT
Micro-CT has become significant in almost every other field, including:
- Biomedical Research: It proves very helpful in the medical domain for visualizing small animals' anatomy and assisting the study of disease progressions, treatment effects, and congenital anomalies.
- Material Science: Micro-CT is applied by engineers or material scientists to investigate the microstructure of materials in order to determine porosity, cracks, and other flaws that may be affecting their performance.
- The fields of Archaeology and Paleontology: Micro-CT allows the investigation of artifacts and fossils in a non-destructive manner and uncovers details that might have been lost during excavation.
- Pharmaceutical Development: Micro-CT helps in the study of the formulation of drugs and its mechanism of release by providing information regarding the physical nature of the compounds.
Advantages of Micro-CT
- High Resolution: Micro-CT can provide resolutions in the sub-micrometer range, which allows for the visualization of structures beyond what conventional techniques can resolve.
- Nondestructive Analysis: The capability of non-destructive sample analysis, which is important in many scientific applications, maintains the integrity of specimens.
- 3D Visualization: Advanced 3D models enabled by micro-CT allow for in-depth spatial analysis and understanding of such complex structures.
- Quantitative Data: This technology measures volume, surface area, and porosity quantitatively; these are used considerably in scientific research and industrial applications.
