研究目的
To present recent developments in X-ray tomography using in-line phase contrast and their applications to mineralised tissue, including bone and artificial biomaterials, at micro- and nanoscale.
研究成果
The chapter highlights the potential of in-line X-ray phase contrast tomography in regenerative medicine, showcasing its applications in nano-tomography of bone and micro-tomography of bone formation. Despite its current limited use, the examples provided aim to stimulate further research in this field.
研究不足
The technique is still relatively little used in the field of regenerative medicine, and there are challenges in imaging heterogeneous objects, especially if quantitative results are required. The method also requires careful calibration and cannot be used in in situ and high frame rate imaging due to the requirement of images at several distances.
