TL;DR: The new microCT station installed at the biomedical beamline ID17 of the European Synchrotron is described and an overview of the preliminary results obtained for different biomedical-imaging applications is given.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates a full-volume three-dimensional reconstruction of an intact rat lung under immediate post-mortem conditions and presents the methodology for collecting multiple local tomographies with 360° extended field of view scans followed by locally non-rigid volumetric stitching.

TL;DR: Within-tidal dynamics of cyclic recruitment/derecruitment using synchrotron radiation phase contrast imaging (PCI) were investigated in a model of acute respiratory distress syndrome in 6 anaesthetized and mechanically ventilated New-Zealand White rabbits as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper , synchrotron radiation imaging methods are described and examples of their application to the study of disease mechanisms in preclinical animal models are presented, which are used to reveal the regional differences in both lung structure and function which are crucial for better understanding of disease mechanism as well as for evaluating treatment in small animal models of lung diseases.

TL;DR: Spatial Distribution of Ventilator Induced Lung Injury at the µm-Scale is studied in an In-Vivo Synchrotron Phase-Contrast Microscopy Study in BALB/c Mic.
