Introducing an Optimized Method for Obtaining X-ray Diffraction Patterns of Biological Tissues
Introduction Individual X-Ray diffraction patterns of biological tissues are obtained via interference of coherent scattering with their electrons. Many scientists have distinguished normal and cancerous breast tissue, bone density, and urinary stone types using the X-Ray diffraction patterns resulting from coherent scattering. The goal of this study was to introduce an optimized method for obt...
متن کاملDiffraction Enhanced X-ray Imaging of Biological Tissues
The purpose of this study was to explore the potential of refraction contrast X-ray imaging of biological systems. Images of a UK mammography test phantom, mouse lungs, heart, liver and legs, together with a human finger, were recorded using the SYRMEP beamline. The technique used has become to be known as ‘Diffraction Enhanced Imaging’ (DEI), which utilises a silicon crystal placed between the...
متن کاملBiological imaging by soft x-ray diffraction microscopy.
We have used the method of x-ray diffraction microscopy to image the complex-valued exit wave of an intact and unstained yeast cell. The images of the freeze-dried cell, obtained by using 750-eV x-rays from different angular orientations, portray several of the cell's major internal components to 30-nm resolution. The good agreement among the independently recovered structures demonstrates the ...
متن کاملQuantitative biological imaging by ptychographic x-ray diffraction microscopy.
Recent advances in coherent x-ray diffractive imaging have paved the way to reliable and quantitative imaging of noncompact specimens at the nanometer scale. Introduced a year ago, an advanced implementation of ptychographic coherent diffractive imaging has removed much of the previous limitations regarding sample preparation and illumination conditions. Here, we apply this recent approach towa...
متن کاملDiffraction enhanced x-ray imaging.
Diffraction enhanced imaging is a new x-ray radiographic imaging modality using monochromatic x-rays from a synchrotron which produces images of thick absorbing objects that are almost completely free of scatter. They show dramatically improved contrast over standard imaging applied to the same phantom. The contrast is based not only on attenuation but also the refraction and diffraction proper...
