Micro computed X-ray tomography (Micro-CT) and micro magnetic resonance imaging (Micro-MRI) are significant advances for visualization, measurement, and reconstruction of microstructure in a number of applications. Importantly, Micro-CT and Micro-MRI are utilized for biomedical applications including bone and soft tissue analysis. However, analysis and reconstruction of internal bone microstructures are limited by the software and algorithms utilized. The invention covers the process and related software for morphological analyses for images of any porous materials including biomaterials such as human or animal bone.
