X-ray imaging allows for non-destructive and longitudinal assessment of samples. X-ray imaging with high-resolution capability can increase the value of the data obtained for a more complete assessment.
When evaluating preclinical X-ray imaging systems, it can be helpful to understand the factors that make for a quality system. We've broken it down into three categories.
Choosing a preclinical X-ray system with image-enhancing, pre- and post-image processing ability ensures that images are automatically optimized based on the characteristic density of the sample.
While X-ray imaging is known to excel in bone research, there are applications where digital X-ray has been shown to have the capability to provide valuable data regarding soft tissue. Often this can be achieved quicker and at lower cost, or with vastly reduced radiation exposure than other imaging modalities, such as MRI or µCT.
