MikroCTskannaus

MikroCTskannaus, short for micro-computed tomography scanning, is a non-destructive imaging technique used to create detailed three-dimensional images of the internal structure of objects. It employs X-rays to scan a sample from multiple angles. A computer then reconstructs these projections into a cross-sectional slice, and by stacking these slices, a complete 3D model of the specimen is generated.

The resolution of mikroCTskannaus is significantly higher than conventional CT scans, often reaching down to the micrometer level. This allows for the visualization of fine details such as pores, microcracks, and cellular structures. The technique is versatile and can be applied to a wide range of materials, including biological tissues, geological samples, engineered components, and archaeological artifacts.

In materials science, mikroCTskannaus is used for analyzing porosity, grain structure, and defect detection in metals, ceramics, and polymers. In the field of life sciences, it plays a crucial role in studying bone microarchitecture, dental structures, and the internal morphology of small organisms without damaging the specimen. The ability to analyze samples in 3D without physical sectioning makes it an invaluable tool for research and quality control across various scientific disciplines. Data obtained from mikroCTskannaus can be further processed for quantitative analysis, such as measuring volume, surface area, and connectivity of features.
