2. 1. X-ray Phase Contrast Tomography : Setup and Scintillator Development

   Author : Hanna Dierks; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; x-rays; x-ray imaging; x-ray microscopy; X-ray detectors; perovskites; laboratory setups; phase contrast; μCT; scintillator; Phase contrast PC ; Tomography x-ray computed ;

   Abstract : X-ray microscopy and micro-tomography (μCT) are valuable non-destructive examination methods in many disciplines such as bio-medical research, archaeometry, material science and paleontology. Besides being implemented at synchrotrons radiation sources, laboratory setups using an X-ray tube and high-resolution scintillation detector routinely provide information on the micrometre scale.

4. 2. Small-Animal Imaging with Liquid-Metal-Jet X-Ray Sources

   Author : Daniel Larsson; Hans Hertz; Anna Burvall; David Paterson; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; X-ray; x-ray imaging; small animal; phase contrast; tomography; Fysik; Physics;

   Abstract : Small-animal x-ray imaging is an important tool for medical research. The penetration power of x-rays makes it possible to investigate the 3D structure of small animals and other thick biological samples by computed tomography (CT). READ MORE

5. 3. Biological Laboratory X-Ray Microscopy

   Author : Mikael Kördel; Hans Hertz; Ulrich Vogt; Jonas A. Sellberg; Rajmund Mokso; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; x-ray microscopy; laboratory x-ray microscopy; water window; biological; cell imaging; virus; Biological and Biomedical Physics; Biologisk och biomedicinsk fysik; Optik och fotonik; Optics and Photonics;

   Abstract : Soft x-ray microscopy in the water window (? ≈ 2.3 − 4.3 nm) is a powerful technique for high-resolution biological imaging. The strong natural contrast between carbon-based structures and water allows visualization of hydrated and unstained samples, while providing enough transmission through up to ∼ 10 μm of organic matter.

6. 4. Characterisation and application of a laser-based hard x-ray source

   Author : Matthias Grätz; Atomfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; X-ray spectroscopy; radiography; medical imaging; differential imaging; time-gated imaging; scatter reduction; Monte Carlo simulation; Atomic and molecular physics; computed tomography; Fysicumarkivet A:1998:Grätz; laser-produced plasma; Atom- och molekylärfysik; X-ray sources;

   Abstract : Hard X-rays are generated by focusing 110 fs laser pulses with intensities of about 1017 W·cm-2 onto solid metal targets. Characteristic properties of this X-ray source are the small source size, the short pulse duration and the high peak flux. READ MORE

7. 5. Conventional spiral and low-dose computed mandibular tomography for dental implant planning

   Author : Annika Ekestubbe; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Artifacts; Dental Implantation; Endosseous; methods; Dental Implants; Humans; Jaw; Edentulous; radiography; Mandible; radiography; Patient Care Planning; Phantoms; Imaging; Radiation Dosage; Radiography; Dental; methods; Reproducibility of Results; Tomography; X-Ray; instrumentation; methods; Tomography; X-Ray Computed; methods;

   Abstract : Absorbed doses to radiosensitive organs in the head and neck from pre-implant conventional hypocycloidal, conventional spiral and computed tomography (CT) were measured with thermoluminescent dosimeters in an anthropomorphic phantom head. From conventional tomography organ doses, except to the major salivary glands, were below 0.2 mGy. READ MORE
