Technological advances of the last decades enabled the development of a set of new medical techniques that differ from traditional open surgery. These techniques, referred to as minimally invasive surgery (MIS), involve complex instruments and imaging devi ...
Radiology is the oldest and by far the largest field of application of X-rays. In recent years, this domain has been literally revolutionized by the exploitation of the unique characteristics of synchrotron sources. The results are particularly spectacular ...
Coherent x-rays from synchrotron sources are increasingly used in non-conventional radiological techniques ('phase-contrast' radiology). Our experiments demonstrate that by using white (unmonochromatic) radiation and a time-resolving system, it is possible ...
The characteristics of synchrotron X-ray sources-quite different from those of conventional sources-are exploited by several new imaging techniques. These techniques expand the capabilities of conventional radiology and find interesting application in spec ...
We present several examples of the applications of a novel microradiology approach based on unmonochromatized synchrotron x-rays. The approach - mostly implemented on the ICPCIR (International Consortium on Phase Contrast Imaging and Radiology) Beamline at ...
Force/torque sensors compatible with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are required to develop haptic interfaces for neuroscientific investigations and robotic tools for interventional MRI. In this paper, we analyze the mechanical structure of classical and ...
Phase contrast radiology using unmonochromatic synchrotron X-ray successfully imaged the grain boundaries of Al and AlZn alloy without contrast agent. Combining the high penetration of X-ray and the possibility of 3D reconstruction by tomorgraphy or stereo ...
We used phase contrast radiography to study the electro-deposition of Zn in real time and with high lateral resolution. Using unmonochromatic synchrotron X-rays and an optics-less imaging setup, we were able to obtain real-time radiographs of the electro-d ...
X-rays, the key ingredient of radiology, are still primarily produced with the mechanism discovered by Rontgen over one century ago. A different approach, however, is becoming increasingly important: the use of synchrotron sources based on fast-moving elec ...
Broadband synchrotron X-rays with limited coherence can be used for high resolution phase contrast radiology. Our experimental results confirm the prediction that the extreme spatial coherence of third-generation synchrotron sources although helpful but no ...
