Abstract
Classical histology is the gold standard for soft-tissue analysis, and it is performed by imaging thin slices of a sample with a microscope. While the resolution is high in two dimensions, the sample preparation to be able to record images is time consuming, destructive and effectively limiting the recorded data to two dimensions. We propose virtual histology by x-ray phase-contrast computed tomography (CT) as a non-destructive imaging method to be used as a complement to classical histology. With our laboratory system, we focus on detailed imaging of soft-tissue tumours with the aim of distinguishing the tumour from healthy tissue.
