@Sarah_Vgb, one of our PhD students, did a fantastic job in explaining what contrast-enhanced CT (CE-CT) is all about! Watch the video below to learn the basics of contrast agents and their use in CE-CT 🦴

During our annual symposium, fascinating seminars on X-ray based 3D histology of tissues were presented. Various types of biomedical research enabled by the X-ray microfocus computed tomography (microCT) machine were showcased. The event concluded with a visit of our lab.
