In recent years, digital pathology and 3D virtual histology are driving the next-generation of diseases evaluation. One promising modality is 3D imaging of soft tissues using X-rays. In this latest study, the team focused on the technical aspects of X-ray imaging of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) blocks, which is driving digital pathology further.
The Key Highlights of the Study are:
– Optimization of X-ray micro-CT settings.
– Theoretical investigation of phase-contrast imaging, and experimental validation.
– Achieving higher spatial resolution.
– Future outlook with regards to recent advances in laboratory instrumentation.
This work is a valuable resource for anyone involved in X-ray 3D virtual histology and aims to push the boundaries of what’s possible in digital pathology.
