CT scan of a chicken skull
1.Chicken skull: 3D shape of the beak, both bone and outer keratin layers. This will helps examination of whether there is genetic selection of certain beak shape traits that can be used as a tool to help reduce damage from pecking injurious in laying hens.
2.Quantification of osmium stained adipocytes in CKD mouse bone. 3.Quantification of trabecular bone in proximal region of mouse tibial bone.
