  4. 2. A multi-prism lens for hard X-Rays

    Author : Björn Cederström; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; x-ray; optics; refractive; lens; mammography; synchrotron; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : This thesis describes a new type of refractive lens for hardx-rays. It is shown that a linear array of prisms, slightlyinclined with respect to the optical axis, will form a linefocus at a certain distance from the lens. Hence, the namemulti-prism lens. READ MORE

    Abstract : Early detection is vital to successfully treating breast cancer, and mammography screening is the most efficient and wide-spread method to reach this goal. Imaging low-contrast targets, while minimizing the radiation exposure to a large population is, however, a major challenge. READ MORE
