CT Analysis Software
All SkyScan scanners are equipped with a software package for complete 2D and 3D quantitative analysis of reconstructed volumes from micro-CT scans, the program "CT-Analyzer", and software for realistic 3D visualization of scanned objects, the "CT-volume" program. These programs can run on the supplied workstation or on any of your laboratory's desktop or notebook computers.
- Runs on Windows 64-bit systems (Windows XP, Vista, 7)
- Supplied as unlimited site license
- Free SkyScan software upgrades for the life of the instrument
- 2D & 3D morphometric outputs in general scientific or ASBMR terms
- Easy to use software interface
- Import of dataset in TIFF, BMP, JPG
- Angular re-sampling of datasets
- Advanced volume-of-interest (VOI) selection tool
- Measures 3D distances and angles
- Creates Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) images
- Calibrates and measures density as HU, BMD or attenuation coefficient
- Image processing functions, such as smooth, despeckle morphologic operations, etc.
- Switch between general scientific and bone morphometry parameter names
- Parameters measured in 2D and 3D include:
- Object (pore, particle, etc.) or "bone" volume
- Object or "bone" surface
- Structure or "trabecular" thickness
- Structure or "trabecular" separation, number
- Structure model index (SMI)
- Fragmentation index or "Trabecular pattern factor"
- Euler number o Degree of anisotropy by MIL
- MIL eigenvalues and stereology
- Fractal dimension (Kolmogorov)
- Moments of inertia (x, y, polar, product)
- Eccentricity
- Cortical periosteal perimeter (outer perimeter of tube)
- Cortical endosteal perimeter (inner perimeter of tube)
- Object or "bone" porosity
- Automated batch analysis
- Measurements validation with real and virtual phantoms
- Creates 3D models by several rendering algorithms
