Figure 2
Attenuation and mean scattering tomographic images of a molar tooth. In (a), a sagittal slice through the reconstruction depicts enamel, dentin, and pulp, which are also visible in the axial slices in (b) and (c). The dentin region is homogeneous, a crack is indicated by a white arrow. Additionally, an inlet shows the line-plot L3 with the attenuation (blue) and scattering strength (orange). The corresponding scattering signal is illustrated in (d) and (e) and shows the same crack (white arrow) as well as additional ones indicated by green arrows. Two line-plots L1 and L2 highlight the difference between both contrast modalities. The slice positions are indicated by colored lines, a scale bar indicates the approximate sample size.
