| Research Abstract |
Computed tomography (CT) is a noninvasive technique for visualizing three-dimensional structures. Tomographic slices are reconstructed from a series of projection images acquired by a rotational scan. The application of x-ray microscopic approaches to CT analysis has led to the visualization of the three-dimensional microstructures of biological samples. We determined three-dimensional cellular and subcellular structure of human cerebral cortex stained with high atomic-number probes. The obtained structure indicated that the neuronal networks and capillary vessel architectures were visualized as the three-dimensional distribution of x-ray absorption coefficients. The capillary microstructures were used as a template to fabricate a resin model of capillary blood vessels. These results indicated that x-ray microtomography is a potential method of visualizing human tissue structures.
