We demonstrate the applicability of propagation-based X-ray phase-contrast imaging at a
laser-assisted compact light source with known phantoms and the lungs and airways of a …

Small-animal physiology studies are typically complicated, but the level of complexity is
greatly increased when performing live-animal X-ray imaging studies at synchrotron and …

X-ray grating interferometry is a powerful emerging tool in biomedical imaging, providing
access to three complementary image modalities. In addition to the conventional attenuation …

We describe the first dynamic and the first in vivo X-ray imaging studies successfully
performed at a laser-undulator-based compact synchrotron light source. The X-ray …

Research in small animal radiotherapy is a crucial step in clinical translation of novel
radiotherapy techniques, either delivered as stand-alone treatment or in combination with …

Sufficient airway surface liquid (ASL) depth is critical to ensure that the mucociliary transport
system can effectively clear inhaled pathogens from the lungs. In those with cystic fibrosis …

To determine the efficacy of potential cystic fibrosis (CF) therapies we have developed a
novel mucociliary transit (MCT) measurement that uses synchrotron phase contrast X-ray …

Small animal physiology studies are often complicated, but the level of complexity is greatly
increased when performing live-animal X-ray imaging studies at synchrotron radiation …

Although airway gene transfer research in mouse models relies on bolus fluid dosing into
the nose or trachea, the dynamics and immediate fate of delivered gene transfer agents are …

Particles suspended in the air are inhaled during normal respiration and unless cleared by
airway defences, such as the mucociliary transit (MCT) system, they can remain and affect …
