Résumé en anglais

Micro-computed tomography (μCT) is a non-invasive and non-destructive X-rays imaging technique which allows to analyze bones internal structures at a microscopic scale, without altering their integrity. Since the 2000’s, this method has become an increasingly important technique for investigating bone structures, as well as for cortical bone as for trabecular bone, and morphology in biological anthropology. Nevertheless, μCT imaging is still relatively less widely used in paleopathology. However, it offers a unique opportunity to reconstitute, at the microarchitectural level, the pathological processes which are at the origin of macroscopic lesions, and thus provides an important aid to retrospective diagnosis. After a brief summary of the utilization of μCT imaging in paleopathology through the specialized scientific literature, this paper will present the benefits of the μCT imaging for paleopathology through different examples of non-specific bone lesions, of deficiency and congenital diseases. For these paleopathological examples, μCT analysis has beenproven decisive in analyzing lesions, reconstructing processes, understanding their impact on normal development, and helping for the diagnosis of osteoarcheological cases.< Réduire
