Switzerland: VISTACT - Virtual Tissue Staining in 3D
An international research team at the Center for Photon Research at Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), led by Dr. Goran Lovric, has succeeded in virtually staining tissue samples using high-resolution micro-computed tomography (µCT) and artificial intelligence. This provides results similar to those of conventional histology methods used in medical diagnostics and research, in which tissue is first cut into extremely thin sections and then stained, for example, to highlight organelles or cells in order to study tissue changes.
