Example of the effect of reduced spatial resolution in ex vivo micro-CT imaging of rodent bones. In this case, an excised rat femur has been imaged for 3.5 hours (80 kVp, 740 mAs, 720 views), with nominal spatial resolution of 16 μm (A,C) and 48 μm (B,D). The magnified images (C,D) illustrate some loss in ability to discriminate small structures in the femoral head with reduced resolution.
