Introduction to (Micro-)CT Scanning: Acquisition, Segmentation and Postprocessing

Develop a complete CT-imaging workflow from scanner selection and acquisition settings to publication-quality visualisation. The course explains volumetric reconstruction, preprocessing and segmentation, including advanced and AI-assisted methods. Practical work improves segmented three-dimensional meshes, reduces noise and prepares datasets for quantitative analysis, images and video. It provides a technical foundation for beginners working with biological or earth-science specimens.
