AbstraktAbstract

The micro-CT scanners of the radiography laboratories at the Institute of Experimental and Applied Physics (IEAP) have been used many times for post mortem imaging of small animals. The systems are based on the Timepix detector technology and they can provide CT models with spatial resolution up to few micrometres for such samples. Until now the investigated samples were ex vivo organs or small animals and image quality was a key parameter of these scans. The transition to the in vivo measurement is connected with the limitation of the absorbed dose in the investigated sample.
