Histopathology is currently the diagnostic gold standard. It is, however, destructive providing only 2D information [1]. 3D X-ray histology overcomes these limitations by visualizing 3D tissue microstructure, which is essential for a holistic pathological characterization [2]. We recently developed a laboratory-based method enabling 3D virtual histology based on contrast enhanced nanoscopic X-ray CT [3]. Here, we present the application of this method to human biopsy samples. The CT slices reproduce crucial structures with a similar detail level as corresponding histological light microscopy images. Deeper insights into the 3D configuration of the tissue can be gained from our 3D data. In addition, compatibility with standard pathological stains highlights the feasibility of integrating our method into the pathological workflow. [1] S. K. Suvarna et al. (2013).
