3D virtual pathohistology of lung tissue from Covid-19 patients based on phase contrast X-ray tomography

Abstract
We present a three-dimensional (3D) approach for virtual histology and histopathology based on multi-scale phase contrast x-ray tomography, and use this to investigate the parenchymal architecture of unstained lung tissue from patients who succumbed to Covid-19. Based on this first proof-of-concept study, we propose multi-scale phase cont
