<strong>SCANCO</strong> - Scanners, Software and<br />
Contract Research Services:<br />
<strong>SCANCO</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> has been a pioneer in the field of high-resolution<br />
computed tomography <strong>for</strong> more than two decades. We offer a wide<br />
range of microCT systems to study the internal structure of<br />
practically any material.<br />
These systems are supplied with high-end computing equipment<br />
and sophisticated analysis and visualization software to provide the<br />
most comprehensive and industry-leading imaging solutions.<br />
<strong>SCANCO</strong> <strong>Medical</strong> also offers scanning, analysis and consulting<br />
services <strong>for</strong> a wide range of applications.<br />
Applications:<br />
- Scaffold characterization<br />
- Nondestructive testing<br />
- Implant measurements<br />
- <strong>Imaging</strong> of composite materials, polymers and foams<br />
- Dental research<br />
- Bone quality measurements<br />
- Vascular research<br />
High resolution imaging <strong>for</strong> accurate results:<br />
- Non-Destructive analysis<br />
- No sample preparation required<br />
- High throughput (batch mode processing, automatic sample loader)<br />
- Custom system configuration available<br />
- Very fast acquisition, reconstruction and analysis<br />
- Automatic sample changer (μCT 35, 40, 50, 80 and μCT 100)<br />
- Physiological monitoring and gating <strong>for</strong> vivaCT 40 and vivaCT 75.<br />
Software<br />
- Morphometry: Segmentation, porosity, specific object surface, object<br />
volume, local thickness, pore size distribution, pore connectivity<br />
- Contact area calculations<br />
- Visualization in 2D and 3D<br />
- Finite Element Analysis
