High contrast in X-ray medical imaging, while maintaining acceptable radiation dose levels
to the patient, has long been a goal. One of the most promising methods is that of K-edge …

The targeting and delivery of therapeutic and diagnostic agents to bone tissue presents both
a challenge and opportunity. Osteoporosis, Paget's disease, cancer, and bone metastases …

Here we apply hyperspectral bright field imaging to collect computed tomographic images
with excellent energy resolution (~ 1 keV), applying it for the first time to map the distribution …

Bone acts as a reservoir for many trace elements. Understanding the extent and pattern of
elemental accumulation in the skeleton is important from diagnostic, therapeutic, and …

Flexible polymers loaded with metal particles other than Pb are emerging composites for X-
ray shielding applications. In this study, the X-ray radiation shielding performance of bismuth …

While K-edge subtraction (KES) imaging is a commonly applied technique at synchrotron
sources, the application of this imaging method in clinical imaging is limited although results …

Spectral K-edge subtraction (SKES) is an imaging technique that takes advantage of the
sharp rise in the mass attenuation coefficient of specific elements within an object at their K …

This research aims to explore novel uses of bent Laue crystals as x-ray optics to extend the
capabilities of computed tomography (CT) at synchrotron facilities. Firstly, we demonstrate …

Compact synchrotron sources based on inverse Compton scattering facilitate the access to a
monochromatic X-ray beam and enable the transfer of imaging techniques that were limited …

In der vorliegenden prospektiven Studie wurde die diagnostische Wertigkeit der Dual-
Energy-Multidetektor-Spiral-Computertomographie (DECT) und Perfusions …
