Exploring Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury: A Comprehensive Ex-Vivo Study Using Phase-Contrast MicroCT and Atomic Force Microscopy

This study investigates ventilator-induced lung injury in a rat model using ex-vivo imaging and mechanical analysis, finding that fibrotic lungs show reduced airspace enlargement compared to healthy lungs after injurious ventilation.

Integrative Imaging of Lung Micro Structure: Amplifying Classical Histology by Paraffin Block μCT and same-slide Scanning Electron Microscopy

The paper develops an integrative imaging pipeline combining micro-CT and scanning electron microscopy with histology to enhance lung tissue analysis by adding 3D context and ultrastructural details.

Vapor-based Fixation of Pulmonary Tissue in its Physiological State: A Novel Approach to Histological Validation of Ultra High Resolution Phase Contrast CT in Human Sized Lungs

The paper demonstrates that formaldehyde vapor fixation preserves porcine lung tissue for high-resolution phase contrast CT imaging and histology, validating its use for studying lung pathology.

Protocol for 3D Virtual Histology of Unstained Human Brain Tissue using Synchrotron Radiation Phase-Contrast Microtomography

This paper provides a protocol for 3D imaging of unstained human brain tissue using synchrotron radiation phase-contrast microtomography, enabling detailed anatomical analysis at the cellular level.
