This works forms part of a collaborative study between UCT (RSA) and ENSAM (France) aimed at understanding mechanical strength of bone so as to improve the design of protective clothing and structure. Due to the size of sample in relation to resolution required, many samples could be scanned in one volume, reducing the total time and hence cost. Approximately 80 samples could be scanned at a time, in less than 30 minutes (excluding setup and reconstruction time). Total job time was 16 hours for approx. 320 samples, including cropping each sample into a separate volume. This totals approx. R27.50 per sample, so please stop saying CT scanning is expensive! (This excludes VAT and 7% admin fee.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.sun.ac.za\/ctscanner\/files\/2014\/03\/slice-with-planejpg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-661\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.sun.ac.za\/ctscanner\/files\/2014\/03\/slice-with-planejpg-1024x365.jpg\" alt=\"slice with planejpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sun.ac.za\/ctscanner\/files\/2014\/03\/slice-with-planejpg-1024x365.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.sun.ac.za\/ctscanner\/files\/2014\/03\/slice-with-planejpg-300x106.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.sun.ac.za\/ctscanner\/files\/2014\/03\/slice-with-planejpg.jpg 1425w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>MOVIE: <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.sun.ac.za\/ctscanner\/files\/2014\/03\/MOVIE1.avi\">Bones MOVIE1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cropped 3D view of bone structure with false colour (red = dense, yellow = intermediate)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.sun.ac.za\/ctscanner\/files\/2014\/03\/crop-3djpg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-663\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.sun.ac.za\/ctscanner\/files\/2014\/03\/crop-3djpg-1024x733.jpg\" alt=\"crop 3djpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sun.ac.za\/ctscanner\/files\/2014\/03\/crop-3djpg-1024x733.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.sun.ac.za\/ctscanner\/files\/2014\/03\/crop-3djpg-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.sun.ac.za\/ctscanner\/files\/2014\/03\/crop-3djpg.jpg 1447w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent academic project, a batch of scans was done on bovine bone samples at 80 micron resolution.
