Analysis of bone architecture in rodents using microcomputed tomography.

This chapter describes the use of micro-computed tomography scanning for analyzing bone structure, focussing on rodent bone. It discusses sample preparation, the correct setup of the scanner, the impact of some of the important scanner settings and new applications.
