The primary mission of the MicroCT and Histology Core Laboratory is to provide state-of-the-art 3-D ex vivo imaging using microCT (a non-destructive, X-ray-based imaging modality) and to provide histology services.
The specimens for microCT must have inherent radio opacity (e.g., bone) or can be rendered radio-opaque (e.g., by the use of contrast agents).
