Concrete porosity analysis

Porosity analysis of concrete in full 3D is possible, as explained in this publication:

A porosity analysis provides a spreadsheet of data of each pore, including its volume, surface area, sphericity, diameter, etc. By sorting the voids according to any of these parameters, you can inspect each pore individually in each slice plane or in 3D, one by one. Here we show a screenshot of this:
