    Evaluation of Biomaterials Using Micro-Computerized Tomography
    (CT 2008: TOMOGRAPHY CONFLUENCE, 2008) Arun, TAT; Soumya, CKC; Saaj, US; Nair, MB; Kalliyana, KV
    Micro-computed tomography or Micro-CT is a high resolution, non-invasive, x-ray scanning technique that allows precise three-dimensional imaging and quantification of micro-architectural and structural parameters of objects. Tomographic reconstruction is based on a cone-beam convolution-back-projection algorithm. Micro-architectural and structural parameters such as porosity, Surface area to volume ratio, interconnectivity, pore size, wall thickness, anisotropy and cross-section area of biomaterials and bio-specimens such as trabecular bone, polymer scaffold, bio-ceramics and dental restorative were evaluated through imaging and computer aided manipulation of the object scan data sets.
