The AAPM, through its members, meetings, and its flagship journal Medical Physics, has
played an important role in the development and growth of x‐ray tomography in the last 50 …

SUMMARY 1 The transition to extra‐uterine life at birth is critically dependent on airway
liquid clearance to allow the entry of air and the onset of gaseous ventilation. We have used …

Diffraction enhanced imaging (DEI) is a new, synchrotron-based, x-ray radiography method
that uses monochromatic, fan-shaped beams, with an analyser crystal positioned between …

Aeration of the lung and the transition to air‐breathing at birth is fundamental to mammalian
life and initiates major changes in cardiopulmonary physiology. However, the dynamics of …

The effects of Lactobacillus casei (LC) on the onset of diabetes in an insulin‐dependent
diabetes mellitus model, nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice, were examined. From the age of 4 …

Computed tomography (CT) is widely used to visualize the cross-section of a sample with
non-destructive techniques in clinical and industrial applications, and the attenuation …

The factors regulating lung aeration and the initiation of pulmonary gas exchange at birth
are largely unknown, particularly in infants born very preterm. As hydrostatic pressure …

Phase contrast x-ray imaging of small animal lungs reveals a speckled intensity pattern not
seen in other tissues, making the lungs highly visible in comparison to other organs …

High quality real-time imaging of lungs in vivo presents considerable challenges. We
demonstrate here that phase contrast x-ray imaging is capable of dynamically imaging the …

X-ray dark-field and bright-field imaging in the Laue geometry has been successfully
demonstrated. Using a Bragg-case asymmetric monochromator that produces an X-ray …
