1.1 About This Manual
Welcome to the Quantum GX2 microCT Imaging System Manual. The Quantum GX2 microCT
Imaging System is a high-speed CT system used for small animal X-ray imaging.
The imaging system is a low-dose X-ray micro-computed tomography scanner. The scanner acquires
high-quality slice images which are rendered for 3D visualization. The system is appropriate for
preclinical longitudinal studies of small animals.
The imaging system uses a cone beam X-ray source and a flat panel X-ray detector to produce high
resolution 3D images of small animal bone structure and surrounding soft tissue.
