Medical X ray Imaging Bone X ray (radiography) An x ray radiograph is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. Imaging with x rays involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body. X rays are the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging. (RadiologyInfo.org)
Computed tomography (CT) An example of a single slice li CT image of the brain. Description Computed tomography (CT) scanning, also called computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanning, is a medical imaging procedure that uses x rays to show cross sectional sectional images of the body. A CT imaging system produces cross sectional images or "slices" of areas of the body, like the slices in a loaf of bread. These cross sectional images are used for a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Uses CT can help diagnose or rule out a disease or condition. CT has become recognized as a valuable medical tool, for: Diagnosis of disease, trauma, or abnormality; Planning, guiding, and monitoring therapy.
Synchrotron radiation What can we benefit from synchrotron radiation? High brilliance Coherence Polarization fast data acquisition coherent diffraction differential polarize enhance imaging Broad energy spectrum soft x ray imaging nanoscopes, interior of biologic, soft matter hard x ray imaging g nondestructive, internal or hidden components Time resolved High energy resolution High spatial resolution dynamic study, evolution spectroscopy push the spatial resolution to nanometer region
Hard X ray Imaging Nondestructive, phase contrast, scanning probe, diffraction contrast, tomography, topography Basically there are two experimental approaches: Full field imaging and scanning probe Full field imaging needs homogeneous illumination, while the scanning probe uses focusing devices to illuminate small area point by point In both cases, there must be a physical property to give contrast. They could be magnetic domain, electric domain, phase, orientation, i density, chemical composition, strain, etc.
Example 1 Orientation percolation map between substrate and film (2d scan) 2d raster scan on film and substrate, both crystals diffract simultaneously. Indexing of the individual grain orientation gives the orientation maps and percolative region by small angle grain boundries. CeO 2 Ni (001) CeO 2 Film CCD Ni CeO 2 Ni X rays Orientation maps produced by X ray microdiffraction. Black lines indicate boundaries between pixels where the total misorientation (including both in plane and out of plane components) is greater than 5.Each coloured area shows a percolative region connected by boundaries of less than 5.
