NEW - Scanco 碌CT50 (Excised Specimens)
- Max spatial resolution: 2 碌m (10% MTF); Max nominal resolution (voxel size) 0.5 碌m
- Max voltage: 100 kVp; Max current: 200 碌A at all energies; 3400 x 1200-element detector
- Optional compression/tension stage can apply up to 500N load (卤1%) and 9mm displacement (卤0.02mm)
- Optional temperature stage allows small samples to be heated/cooled 卤15掳C from ambient temperature
- Appropriate for all specimens compatible with 碌CT40
Scanco 碌CT40 (Excised Specimens)
- Max spatial resolution: 8 碌m (10% MTF); Max nominal resolution (voxel size) 3 碌m
- Max Voltage: 70 kVp; Max current 177 碌A at lowest energy; 2048 x 256-element detector
- Field of view: 10-40 mm diameter 脳 70 mm length
- Quantitative analysis of bone architecture (cortical and trabecular measurements)
- Rodent bone morphometry, fracture repair, tissue engineering constructs
- Contrast-enhanced imaging of tumors and vasculature
- High-contrast imaging of heavy metal-stained organs, embryos, marrow adipocytes
- Select applications in materials science, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and museum/educational pieces
- Scan time scales with resolution and field of view height. As an example, a set of 4 full-length mouse femurs, at 16 碌m resolution, takes approximately 110 minutes of scan time. The same scan at 8 碌m resolution takes twice as long.
Scanco VivaCT40 (Live Animals)
- Field of view: 20-40 mm聽diameter 脳 140 mm length
- Spatial resolution: 10 碌m to 40 碌m
- Longitudinal quantitation of bone morphometry (best suited for cranial imaging)
- Contrast-enhanced imaging of vasculature, tumors, etc.
- Primarily used for in vivo imaging of mice (or small rats) under isoflurane anesthesia.
- IACUC approval is required for all procedures involving live animals.
