High-resolution computed tomography (CT) imaging of a live animal within a lead-lined
synchrotron light hutch presents several unique challenges. In order to confirm that the …

Anatomical visualization of airspace‐containing organs in intact small animals has been
limited by the resolution and contrast available from current imaging methods such as X‐ray …

High sensitive synchrotron X-ray imaging techniques such as phase-contrast X-ray
computed tomography with an X-ray interferometer (p-CT) and fluorescent X-ray computer …

In many animals, including humans, the lungs encase the majority of the heart thus the
motion of each organ affects the other. The effects of the motion of the heart on the lungs …

There is a growing interest in imaging techniques as non-invasive means of quantitatively
measuring regional lung structure and function. Abnormalities in lung ventilation due to …

In this study, contrast-enhanced X-ray tomographic imaging for monitoring and quantifying
respiratory disease in preclinical rodent models is proposed. A K-edge imaging method has …

The use of highly intense synchrotron light sources allows the next step in the fast imaging
development: the use of hard X-rays. Micro-radiography as an established method to image …

During breathing, lung inflation is a dynamic process involving a balance of mechanical
factors, including trans-pulmonary pressure gradients, tissue compliance and airway …

Phase-contrast X-ray lung imaging has broken new ground in preclinical respiratory
research by improving contrast at air/tissue interfaces. To minimize blur from respiratory …

The X-ray synchrotron is quite different from conventional radiation sources. This technique
may expand the capabilities of conventional radiology and be applied in novel manners for …
