3-step methodological protocol
Step n°		Time (mins)
1		5
2		10
3		215
3.1	alignmenta	60
3.2	scanb	75
3.3	reconstruction	60
3.4	3D rendering	10
Total time		230

Time needed for each step (and total time) of the suggested protocol for detecting and visualizing ossa genitalia. ^a = time needed for the correct alignment is far below in commercial lab-based micro-computed tomography systems. ^b = the scan times are halved in commercial lab-based micro-computed tomography systems (with the same scanning parameters used).
