Abstract:Background and AimFull‐thickness biopsies of the intestinal wall may be used to study and assess damage to the neurons of the enteric nervous system (ENS), that is, enteric neuropathy. The ENS is difficult to examine due to its localization deep in the intestinal wall and its organization with several connections in diverging directions. Histological sections used in clinical practice only visualize the sample in a two‐dimensional way. X‐ray phase‐contrast micro‐computed tomography (PC‐μCT) has shown potential… Show more
