What is 3D X-Ray Histology (XRH)
A technique tailored to fit seamlessly into current histology workflows in biomedical and pre-clinical research, as well as clinical histopathology
Setting the foundations for X-ray micro-computed tomography workflow for non-destructive 3D X-ray histology (XRH)

www.xrayhistology.orgOn 2018 our team was awarded an £1.14M follow-up* Wellcome Trust, Biomedical Resource and Technology Development grant to further develop a flexible technique for non-destructive 3D (volume) imaging and analysis of standard tissue samples via X-ray micro-computed tomography (µCT).
The the technique, which we identify as 3D X-ray Histology (XRH) is integrating precise registration and correlation with conventional histopathology and will support high-throughput imaging of routinely prepared formalin-fixed and paraffin embedded tissue specimens and standarised and automated workflows, through new X-ray equipment. We envisage this to be directly translated into next-generation clinical image-based diagnostics and patient stratification using artificial intelligence and deep learning
