We are trying to understand how capability of 3D tissue scaffolds made of polymers and ceramics is affected by their internal architectures. Currently, we have obtained a series of micro-CT images (about 300) of a polymer-made scaffold. We want to use imageJ to achieve 3D reconstruction and get to know overall porosity, surface area and distribution of pores and ratio between open and closed pores.
I wonder if there are any imageJ plugins can do this. If not what other software can be used?
Your help will be very appreciated.
Hi Steve,
Thanks a lot. BoneJ is actually a very useful plugin. I have got volume fraction and surface area by using it. I will try to learn more about Bonej to see if it can give the information of the pore size distribution.
Many thanks,
Yitian
HI,
If you have Micro CT software, I think you can achieve what you want to see. Basically, micro CT software can reconstruct 3D Images and you can see clear of pores properties.
