Micro-CT Morphometry
Micro-computed tomography (microCT) morphometry quantifies 3D bone and tissue architecture at micrometer resolution, enabling detailed assessment of bone density, trabecular structure, and porosity. Developed by Feldkamp and colleagues and standardized by the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research, microCT is the gold standard for preclinical bone analysis and has expanded to tissue engineering and material characterization.
