Ptychographic X-ray computed tomography at the nanoscale
Nature. 2010; 467:436-9.
In this letter, a novel X-ray computed tomography technique at the nanoscale is described, which was successfully applied to quantitatively assess the local bone density and to resolve the osteocyte lacuno-canalicular network (see picture) at a resolution below 100 nm.
Hierarchical microimaging of bone structure and function

Nature Rev Rheumatol. 2009 Jul;5(7):373-81.
In this review, strategies for new three-dimensional approaches for functional imaging in the study of micro- and ultrastructural bone are presented. The focus is on hierarchical assessment of bone failure using combined experimental and computational approaches.
