Overview of μCT Systems:
The document provides specifications for μCT 45 and μCT 90 systems, both utilizing cone-beam geometry with peak energy ranging from 30-90 kVp. The focal spot size is 5/7 μm at 4/8 W for both models. An optional filter changer with three positions is available.
Scanning Capabilities:
μCT 45 offers a scan diameter of 10-50 mm, while μCT 90 extends up to 10-90 mm. Both systems support a maximum scan length/height of 120 mm and can accommodate samples with a maximum diameter/height of 90/120 mm. The automatic sample changer can hold up to 20 holders for μCT 45 and 16 holders for μCT 90, with multiple specimens up to 9 cm in diameter.
Resolution and Imaging:
The nominal resolution for μCT 45 is 1.25 μm with a 10% MTF of less than 5 μm, whereas μCT 90 offers a nominal resolution of 2.2 μm with a 10% MTF of less than 8 μm. The image matrix ranges from 512 x 512 to 8192 x 8192 for both systems. Options include compression/tension and cooling devices.
Computing Specifications:
The systems are powered by an HP Integrity Server, 64-bit rx2800, with RAM ranging from 32 to 368 GB and CPU configurations from 1 to 2 CPUs with 4 to 16 cores. Disk storage ranges from 5 TB to multiple TBs. An optional GPU for reconstruction is available with HP Z4/Z8 equipped with Pascal GPUs. Clustering of multiple rx2800 servers is possible to enhance throughput.
Manufacturer Information:
SCANCO Medical AG, located in Brüttisellen, Switzerland, and SCANCO USA, Inc., located in Wayne, PA, USA, are the manufacturers. Contact details and websites are provided for further information.
Additional Notes:
The document mentions a specific configuration for μCT 45 with a 10mm field of view, 3μm resolution, and 70 kVp.
