This project aims to develop imaging technology to see and quantify objects normally invisible with X-rays. It will develop an X-ray imaging system that should provide orders of magnitude greater sensitivity to subtle changes in material composition than conventional radiography. It will devise quantitative image analysis tools for isolating specific materials of interest from complex multi-material samples, including low density components that often go undetected. Industries that could benefit significantly from this technology include airport security, the mining sector, agriculture, manufacturing quality control, and biomedical researchers studying anatomical form and function.

该项目旨在开发成像技术，以观察和量化通常用X射线看不见的物体。它将开发一种X射线成像系统，该系统应该比传统的射线照相技术对材料成分的细微变化提供更高数量级的灵敏度。它将设计出定量的图像分析工具，从复杂的多材料样本中分离出感兴趣的特定材料，包括经常被检测不到的低密度成分。可能从这项技术中受益显著的行业包括机场安检、采矿业、农业、制造业质量控制，以及研究解剖形态和功能的生物医学研究人员。
