Abstract :
This work is related to the study of bone architecture. The internal structure of bone is imaged using a specific high resolution tomographic device which is described. The resolution obtained on a vertebral specimen is adequate. Furthermore, a deconvolution procedure allowing one to obtain 3D isotropic images from this system is described. Results on high resolution X-ray CT vertebral images are presented
