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.
