MicroCT in vivo scanner
MODEL # OF EQUIPMENT: TriFoil eXplore CT120 Small-Animal X-ray CT Scanner | |
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT: The 51社区 MicroCT Scanner (OU碌CT) allows non-destructive 3D x-ray imaging and digitization of objects smaller than about 10 cm diameter. | |
CAPABILITIES OF THE EQUIPMENT: Live animals (e.g., mice and rats) can be imaged and even instrumented, and the OU碌CT provides cardiac and respiratory gating that reduces motion artifact. The scanner has a unique power generator that allows faster and cleaner imaging, which improves data quality for dense specimens while also reducing x-ray dose and cost for all specimens. Resolution ranges from 25-100 microns. Specimen densities range from anatomical soft tissues to industrial applications. | |
