Step-by-step summary of the workflow followed in this study. After the characterization of the samples, selected regions of interest were scanned using X-ray PhC \(\mu\)CT. Next, the resulting projections were phase-retrieved, reconstructed, and analyzed. An initial match and a comparative evaluation have been made. New sections for additional histological staining procedures were posteriorly carried out. The resulting histological images were matched to their corresponding PhC \(\mu\)CT images. Finally, a compare-and-contrast assessment of the resulting matched images was done.
