The Micro-CT Laboratory

The Micro-CT Laboratory is a joint lab operated by principal investigators Dr. Benedikt Hallgrímsson (3D Morphometrics Lab), Dr. Steven Boyd (Bone Imaging Lab) and Dr. Heather Jamniczky (Jamniczky lab).  Please refer to their websites to learn more about their research.  The laboratory is located in room 3A31 of the Health Research Innovation Centre (HRIC) and is part of the McCaig Institute for Bone and Joint Health at the University of Calgary's Foothills Campus.

About Micro-CT
Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) is a non-destructive imaging technique that can be used to generate a 3D virtual model of an object. The applications of micro-CT are diverse, and range from morphological studies of biological tissues such as bone morphology, to the evaluation of porosity in coal cores and to industrial non-destructive test (NDT). The Micro-CT Laboratory offers expertise in three dimensional (3D) measurement techniques and biometric techniques for characterization of shape variation.
