Cancellous Bone
The model shows the spongy bone inside the bone. Its filigree architecture is determined by influenc-
es such as pressure, bending and torsion. Using innovative micro CT technology, we have managed to
reconstruct an exact three dimensional copy of a piece of cancellous bone from an original and en-
large it 100 times.

From Micro to Macro
Micro CT based anatomical teaching model by 3B Scientific
For the very first time, high resolution micro-computer tomography has been used to produce exact, enlarged replicas of
very tiny structures from micro-anatomical original preparations, such as cancellous bone and human auditory ossicles.
This process supersedes the evaluation of two dimensional histological sections, so that the three dimensional
micro-architecture of the scanned object can be reproduced in a non-destructive way.
Once developed to analyze small defects in ceramic materials, the micro CT scanner now has a valuable
use in medicine, in particular in research into osteoporosis.
It works in a similar way to a traditional CT scanner, but has a much higher resolution and a longer
scan time.
The data reconstructed on the computer during the scanning process has then been used to create this
unique teaching model.
