Our aim was to assess the\r\nusefulness of three-dimensional (3D) imaging by X-ray phase-contrast tomography in evaluating the\r\nENS of the human bowel.\r\nMaterial and methods: Myenteric ganglia were identified in full-thickness biopsies of the ileum and\r\ncolon by hematoxylin & eosin staining. A1-mm biopsy punch was taken from the paraffin blocks and\r\nplaced into a KaptonVR tube for subsequent tomographic investigation. The samples were scanned,\r\nwithout further preparation, using phase-contrast tomography at two different scales: overview scans\r\n(performed with laboratory setups), which allowed localization of the nervous tissue ( 1mm effective\r\nvoxel size); and high-resolution scans (performed with a synchrotron endstation), which imaged localized\r\nregions of 320x320x320 mm3 (176 nm effective voxel size).\r\nResults: The contrast allowed us to follow the shape and the size changes of the ganglia, as well as\r\nto study their cellular components together with the cells and cellular projections of the periganglional\r\nspace. Furthermore, it was possible to show the 3D network of the myenteric plexus and to quantify\r\nits volume within the samples.\r\nConclusions: Phase-contrast X-ray tomography can be applied for volume analyses of the human ENS\r\nand to study tissue components in unstained paraffin-embedded tissue biopsies. This technique could\r\npotentially be used to study disease mechanisms, and to compare healthy and diseased tissues in clinical\r\nresearch."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1080/00365521.2020.1815079"],["dc.identifier.pmid","32907418"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/80786"],["dc.identifier.url","https://mbexc.uni-goettingen.de/literature/publications/70"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-399"],["dc.relation","EXC 2067: Multiscale Bioimaging"],["dc.relation.eissn","1502-7708"],["dc.relation.issn","0036-5521"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Institut für Röntgenphysik"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Salditt (Structure of Biomolecular Assemblies and X-Ray Physics)"],["dc.rights","CC BY 3.0"],["dc.subject.gro","biomedical tomography"],["dc.title","3D analysis of the myenteric plexus of the human bowel by X-ray phase-contrast tomography – a future method?"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

To suppress reconstruction artifacts in region of interest (ROI) or local tomography, an iterative algorithm has been devised based on back-projection and re-projection, assuming an approximately cylindrical shape of the entire sample of general homogeneity, which is especially applicable for micro-tomography of biopsy samples from biological tissue. Tomographic reconstruction is iteratively refined by minimizing the mismatch between an empty ROI and the reconstruction from the difference between measured sinogram and forward projected ROI reconstruction. By numerical simulation and experimental demonstration, it is shown that the algorithm is not only able to reconstruct quantitative gray values, but also to reduce artifacts of peripheral glow, and may lead to increased image sharpness. The method is particularly suitable for examination of biopsy/autopsy-samples of soft tissue by micro/nano-computed tomography."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschunghttp://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100002347"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1088/1361-6560/abc22f"],["dc.identifier.eissn","1361-6560"],["dc.identifier.issn","0031-9155"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/81554"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","DOI Import GROB-399"],["dc.relation.eissn","1361-6560"],["dc.relation.issn","0031-9155"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Institut für Röntgenphysik"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Salditt (Structure of Biomolecular Assemblies and X-Ray Physics)"],["dc.rights.uri","http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0"],["dc.subject.gro","x-ray imaging"],["dc.subject.gro","biomedical tomography"],["dc.title","Iterative micro-tomography of biopsy samples from truncated projections with quantitative gray values"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The morphology of the bulb is species specific and plays an important role in species recognition and prezygotic reproductive isolation. Despite its importance for spider biodiversity, the mechanisms that control bulb development are virtually unknown. We have used confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and diffusible iodine-based contrast-enhanced micro computed tomography (dice-µCT) to study bulb development in the spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum. These imaging technologies enabled us to study bulb development in situ, without the use of destructive procedures for the first time. We show here that the inflated pedipalp tip in the subadult stage is filled with haemolymph that rapidly coagulates. Coagulation indicates histolytic processes that disintegrate tibia and tarsus, similar to histolytic processes during metamorphosis in holometabolous insects. The coagulated material contains cell inclusions that likely represent the cell source for the re-establishment of tarsus and tibia after histolysis, comparable to the histoblasts in insect metamorphosis. The shape of the coagulated mass prefigures the shape of the adult tarsus (cymbium) like a blueprint for the histoblasts. This suggests a unique role for controlled coagulation after histolysis in the metamorphosis-like morphogenesis of the male pedipalp."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/s41598-019-43192-9"],["dc.identifier.pmid","31061504"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/16163"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/59982"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Institut für Röntgenphysik"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Physik"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG Salditt (Structure of Biomolecular Assemblies and X-Ray Physics)"],["dc.rights","CC BY 4.0"],["dc.rights.uri","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"],["dc.subject.ddc","570"],["dc.subject.gro","biomedical tomography"],["dc.title","Formation and development of the male copulatory organ in the spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum involves a metamorphosis-like process"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.subtype","original_ja"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Using the zoom capability of the cone beam geometry, regions-of-interest are reconstructed with a minimum voxel size of 167 nm.

This enables the 3D reconstruction of characteristic morphological features of human pancreatic normal and tumor tissue, as obtained from cancer surgery, first in the form of a large-scale overview by parallel-beam illumination, followed by a zoom into a region-of-interest based on zoom tomography using a Kirkpatrick-Baez mirror with additional waveguide optics. To this end 1 mm punch biopsies of the tissue were taken. In the parallel tomography, a volumetric throughput on the order of 0.01 mm3 s-1 was achieved, while maintaining the ability to segment isolated cells. With a continuous rotation during the scan, a total acquisition time of less than 2 min was required for a full tomographic scan. Using the combination of both setups, islets of Langerhans, a three-dimensional cluster of cells in the endocrine part of the pancreas, could be located. Cells in such an islet were segmented and visualized in 3D. Further, morphological alterations of tumorous tissue of the pancreas were characterized. To this end, the anisotropy parameter Ω, based on intensity gradients, was used in order to quantify the presence of collagen fibers within the entire biopsy specimen.
