Utilizing of pixelated detectors in radiography and micro-CT measurements provides adequate solution of problems with low attenuating material imaging. One of such material is porous Gellan Gum reinforced with bioactive glass. This synthetic biomaterial is used for tissue engineering (scaffolding), highly optimized for its biocompatibility, bioresorbability, porosity and mechanical properties. Tomographic control of the material behavior under the mechanical stress is valuable method for the study of these properties. Inspected sample with porosity almost 90% has extremely low X-ray transmission attenuation.
