摘要：X-ray computed microtomography (micro-CT, microComputerised Tomography) is a
miniaturized form of conventional computerized axial tomography (CAT ). This sophisticated technology
enables 3D riconstruction of the internal structure of small X-ray opaque objects without
sample destruction or preparation. The aim of this study is to show the possible applications of
micro-CT in the analysis of bone graft materials of different origins (i.e. homologous, heterologous,
alloplastic) in order to define their morphometric properties by means of SkyScan 1072 3D microtomography
system. Since there is a close relationship between the properties of the materials and
their microstructure, it is necessary to examine them using the highest levels of resolution before
being able to improve existing materials or create new products.
