Human chest phantom. (a) Human chest phantom containing a fresh pig lung and a water-filled outer cavity mounted on the new sample station at the beamline. (b) Exemplary cross-section demonstrates that the whole pig lung can be imaged. § denotes the water-filled outer cavity of the specimen. (c) Vertical section through the stitched 15 consecutive scans reveals no visible alignment errors. (d) 3D-rendering of the same dataset (virtually cut open) revealing a consolidated area in the central lobe (white rectangle). (e) Detailed view of this region illustrating that pathology can now be studied in 3D and in greater detail. |
