The use of synchrotron radiation is not widespread in the field of medicine and in fact few
health-care professionals have even heard of it. It is the purpose of this article to explain …

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 …

Scientists and clinicians have a keen interest in studying not just the structure of
physiological systems, but their motion also, or more generally their form and function. This …

A fixed-exit monochromator has been constructed for computed tomography (CT) studies at
the Medical Beamline of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility. A non-dispersive pair …

Intravenous coronary angiography with synchrotron radiation is a novel and minimally

Coronary angiography is the established routine imaging modality for patients with coronary
artery disease. In recent years, the number of these procedures has increased remarkably …

X-ray phase-contrast radiography and tomography enable to increase contrast for weakly
absorbing materials. Recently, x-ray grating interferometers were developed that extend the …

The use of elastically bent perfect crystals as optical elements of high energy synchrotron
