Synchrotron Radiation-Based Micro-CT Enables In Vivo Visualization of CNS Fluid Spaces

A team of researchers has developed a new method for visualizing the fluid spaces within the central nervous system (CNS) of living organisms. The technique utilizes synchrotron radiation-based micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) to achieve this visualization. The study is slated for publication in *Nature Communications*.

Girona Alarcón, W. Kuo, and M. Humbel led the research team that developed this pioneering methodology. The team’s approach allows for the observation of CNS fluid spaces in vivo, marking a significant step forward in neuroscience and imaging technology. Synchrotron radiation-based micro-CT is the key component that enables the visualization.
