3D quantitative multi-tissue imaging by contrastenhanced nanoct to improve the understanding of the dynamic biological processes of tissue formation . Acronym: connecttify = contrast-enhanced nanoct to visualize tissue formation. KU Leuven
Organs and biological tissues have a spatial heterogeneity. Thus, 2D measurements like histomorphometry only partially reveal the degree of change during tissue formation and integration. As a solution, the applicant proposes the use of nanofocus X-ray computed tomography (nanoCT). It allows 3D visualization at high spatial resolution. However, soft tissue contrast is inherently poor. Therefore, within this project it is the aim to synthesize ...
