In the field of pathology, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) has become an attractive imaging modality because it enables full analysis of the three-dimensional characteristics of a tissue sample or organ in a noninvasive manner. However, because ...
Lodging is a common problem in rice, reducing its yield and mechanical harvesting efficiency. Rice architecture is a key aspect of its domestication and a major factor that limits its high productivity. The ideal rice culm structure, including major_...
After an ischemic event, disruptive changes in the healthy myocardium may gradually develop and may ultimately turn into fibrotic scar. While these structural changes have been described by conventional imaging modalities mostly on a macroscopic scal...
Tissue micro-morphological abnormalities and interrelated quantitative data can provide immediate evidences for tumorigenesis and metastasis in microenvironment. However, the multiscale three-dimensional nondestructive pathological visualization, mea...
Micro-CT has important applications in biomedical research due to its ability to perform high-precision 3D imaging of micro-architecture in a non-invasive way. Because of the limited power of the radiation source, it is difficult to obtain a high sig...

3D image-based finite element (FE) and bone volume fraction (BV/TV)/fabric tensor modeling techniques are currently used to determine the apparent stiffness tensor of trabecular bone for assessing its anisotropic elastic behavior. Inspired by the rec...
INTRODUCTION: This study proposes a novel data pipeline based on micro-computed tomographic (micro-CT) data for training the U-Net network to realize the automatic and accurate segmentation of the pulp cavity and tooth on cone-beam computed tomograph...
