Title: 3D histology with x-ray micro-tomography workshop
Where: MAX IV, large conference room “MAX III”, Fotongatan 2 (May 9) and LINXS (May 10).
Who can benefit: All researchers in the fields of Medicine, Biology and Soft Materials, who are interested in 3D imaging methods, virtual histology, or just curious about synchrotron based micro-tomography are welcome to sign up.
Welcome to an exciting afternoon workshop on biomedical and clinical research using X-ray microtomography to perform three-dimensional virtual histology.
We will present application examples and discuss how to prepare such experiments and how to interpret the data.
The workshop is organised by the working group Biomedical Imaging within the IPDD theme.
Background
With advanced x-ray micro-tomography at synchrotron radiation facilities, we can obtain volumetric imaging of soft tissue samples. As a complement to standard microscopy techniques, synchrotron micro-tomography provides volumetric information, virtual slicing in arbitrary planes, and 3D visualization of tissue morphology.
Invited guest speakers: Danny Jonigk, MD, PhD, Institute of Pathology, Aachen University, Germany and Anne Bonnin, PhD, Swiss Light Source, PSI, Switzerland.
