Are There Any New Developments in CT Technology Relevant to Histology?
Recent advancements in CT technology have enhanced its application in histology:
1. Dual-Energy CT: This technique uses two different energy levels to improve tissue contrast and characterization, providing more detailed information about tissue composition. 2. Micro-CT: Micro-computed tomography offers even higher resolution, allowing for the visualization of small structures within tissues, bridging the gap between traditional CT and histology. 3. Spectral CT: By using different wavelengths of X-rays, spectral CT can differentiate between various tissue types more effectively, aiding in the identification of pathological changes.
