What Are the Limitations of CT Scans in Cell Biology?

Despite these advantages, there are some limitations to consider:
1. Radiation Exposure: Repeated exposure to X-rays can be harmful to living tissues, limiting the use of CT scans for in vivo studies.
2. Contrast Resolution: While CT scans provide good spatial resolution, their contrast resolution may not be sufficient for distinguishing between certain types of soft tissues or cellular components without the use of contrast agents.
3. Cost and Accessibility: High-resolution CT scanners are expensive and may not be readily accessible in all research settings.
