Article Synopsis
- Phase-contrast X-ray computed tomography (PCI) imaging allows for the detection of small density differences in biological tissues without the need for contrast agents, with ethanol fixation improving image contrast by dehydrating and removing lipids from tissues.
- In a study comparing ethanol-fixed and formalin-fixed rat brains, ethanol fixation (EF) provided superior image quality, especially in visualizing white matter structures, yielding six times better contrast than formalin fixation (FF).
- The results indicate that PCI with ethanol-fixed samples allows for highly detailed three-dimensional reconstructions of white matter, suggesting its potential utility in neurological research and postmortem investigations.
