Optimal Contrast Agent Staining of Ligaments and Tendons for X-Ray Computed Tomography.

X-ray computed tomography has become an important tool for studying the microstructures of biological soft tissues, such as ligaments and tendons. Due to the low X-ray attenuation of such tissues, chemical contrast agents are often necessary to enhance contrast during scanning. In this article, the...
