Application of synchroton radiation microtomography to the 3d analysis of bone samples : structure and density

Objective

Synchroton radiation Microtomography (SE µCT) is a non-destructive technique particularly attractive for the investigation of bone architecture, since it provides high resolution three-dimensional images of bone samples. The purpose of the project is to develop new 3D analysis techniques for the quantification of bone architecture and of bone mineral density.
