CBET-0821236ZhuMicroCT is a high resolution, non-destructive imaging method that employs tomography, where digital processing of sequential x-ray scans is used to generate a 3-D image of an object's structure. It has become the quintessential tool for research requiring non-invasive characterization of internal morphology and identification of disparate phases. This proposaldescribes unique applications of microCT in conducting research on relationships betweenmicrostructure and the physical properties of hard and soft tissues, biomaterials, and engineered micro-materials. The specific aims of the proposed research are to:1. Detail the vasculature in tumors and structures of the eye associated with ocular diseases.2. Evaluate microstructural changes in hard and soft tissues with aging and/or diseases.3. Characterize transport in permeable natural materials and advanced structural materials.

CBET-0821236ZhuMicroCT是一种采用断层扫描的高分辨率、非破坏性成像方法，其中使用连续x射线扫描的数字处理来生成物体结构的三维图像。它已成为研究需要非侵入性表征内部形态和鉴定不同相的典型工具。本提案描述了microCT在硬组织和软组织、生物材料和工程微材料的微观结构与物理性质之间关系的研究中的独特应用。提出的研究的具体目的是：1。详细介绍与眼部疾病相关的肿瘤和眼部结构中的脉管系统。评估衰老和/或疾病导致的硬组织和软组织的微观结构变化。表征可渗透天然材料和先进结构材料中的输运。
