Information:
A frequent x-ray application in the pathology is the examination of bone- or tissue samples for metastases. During the operative removal of tumors, for example, it has to be guaranteed, that the complete tumor has been removed. For this purpose x-ray images are made from the taken tissue / bone. If the metastases extend to the edge of the samples, not enough tissue- or bone mass has been removed.

Possibilities of inspection:
tissue / damages / metastases

Information:
Digital x-ray imaging is very advantageous for the use in the medical research, pharmacy and pathology, because all image data can be digitally processed and archieved (catalogued) very easily. There are no costs for film and chemicals. The NTB x-ray scanners (EZ 240 - EZ 480) offer optimal conditions for laboratories and research departments.

Possibilities of inspection:
tissue / structure of bones / pathology

X-ray photograph:
Skeleton of a frog

Information:
Environmental impacts and genetic changes are often components of biological examinations, at which the digital x-ray imaging can be used. The magnified image shows a software filtered x-ray image for the improved representation of the frog skeleton.

Possibilities of inspection:
structure of the skeleton / tissue / pathology

X-ray photograph:
Skeleton of a fish

Information:
For the analysis of water quality in open waters or the research in the fish farming or animal food industry, x-ray images of fishes are taken in order to diagnose changes in the skeleton structure. Especially at mass screenings considerable costs can be saved through the use of digital x-ray processes.

Possibilities of inspection:
tissue / structure of the skeleton / pathology
