Spectral-KES water density projection and CT images. Dorsal–ventral (a) and lateral (b) X-ray images of an anaesthetized mouse held vertically in the restraint device. Note the silicone tubing under the forelimbs, the temperature probe and PhysioSuite™ infrared sensor attached to hind paw. (c) Reconstruction of 600 individual water density CT slices as the mouse restraint was rotated 180°. Note that the silicone tubing, clear acrylic tube and restraint upright do not interfere with the quality of the CT images. The denser structures such as sternum, ribs and vertebrae have greater image intensities (g cm−2) than the soft tissues (e.g. heart) and air spaces (i.e. lung cavities).
