A Multi-Resolution X-ray Microtomography Facility (NanoCT & MicroCT) for Non-Destructive 3D Characterisation

X射线显微断层扫描平台适用于许多国家研究优先领域的各种研究。 概述的研究将提供对骨癌和骨质疏松症的见解，促进对肿瘤生物学理解的突破，并推动新型生物材料的新发展，所有这些都对国家健康有重大益处。在牙科方面，由该仪器支持的研究将为澳大利亚人提供牙齿健康的改善。此外，对工业材料的应用使澳大利亚工业能够更好地描述其产品，从而改善出口业绩，从而改善澳大利亚的贸易平衡。

X-ray microtomography platforms are applicable to a wide diversity of research across many of the national research priority areas. The research outlined will provide insights into bone cancer and osteoporosis, promote breakthroughs in the understanding of tumour biology and drive new developments in novel biomaterials, all of which have significant national health benefits. In dentistry, research supported by this instrumentation will provide Australians with improvements to their dental health. Furthermore applications to industrial materials are providing Australian industries with better characterisation of their products that is leading to improved export performance and consequent improvement in Australia's balance of trade.
