Mu-CT.
While many radiologists are aware of the revolutionary development of computed tomography (CT)-scanners and their diagnostic implications, some researchers have focused on studying the potentials of mu-CT. The aim of this article is to give a brief overview of its physical properties and outline possible indications both for the real ex vivo and small animal mu-CT studies, as well as the modified mu-CT units used in dental practice.
