Overview at 19.59um of the brain of donor S-22-16, scanned at ESRF on beamline BM18.

Overview at 19.59um of the brain of donor S-22-16, scanned at ESRF on beamline BM18 using the HiP-CT imaging technique. Hierarchical Phase-Contrast Tomography (HiP-CT) is an X-ray technique that decouples field of view and resolution to image anywhere in the human body with cellular (micron) resolution. Imaging areas can be full organs at a resolution of 25 micron or zoomed regions in these organs with resolutions between 6 and 0.6 micron, one hundred times the resolution of medical CT.供体S-22-16的大脑在19.59μm分辨率下的全貌影像，由欧洲同步辐射装置（ESRF）的BM18光束线采用分层相衬层析成像（HiP-CT）技术扫描获取。分层相衬层析成像（HiP-CT）是一种可分离视场与分辨率的X射线成像技术，能够以细胞级（微米级）分辨率对人体任意区域进行成像。其成像区域既可为分辨率达25μm的完整器官，也可针对这些器官内的区域进行放大成像，分辨率范围为6至0.6μm，分辨率可达医用CT的一百倍。
