Correlative Imaging with Multi-energy X-ray Tomography

：福特博士的研究实验室在肺的临床前微型计算机断层扫描(Micro-CT)成像方面建立了强大的背景，开发了使用碘和氙气作为造影剂分别显示血管和呼吸道的多能量对比度增强Micro-CT成像方案。我们还在加拿大光源同步加速器设施(CLS)的生物医学光束线(BMIT)上开发了新的成像技术，包括第一次对氙气进行K边缘减影(KES)成像，以及第一次使用啮齿动物的呼吸信号在指定的呼吸期触发图像采集。我们的微型CT和BMIT光束线技术将使

: Dr. Ford’s research lab has built upon a strong background in preclinical micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) imaging of the lung to develop multi-energy contrast-enhanced micro-CT imaging protocols using iodine and xenon as contrast agents to visualize the blood vessels and airways respectively. We have also developed new imaging techniques on the biomedical beam line (BMIT) of the Canadian Light Source Synchrotron facility (CLS), including the first K-edge subtraction (KES) imaging of xenon and the first images using the respiratory signal from the rodent to trigger image acquisition during a specified respiratory phase. Our techniques for micro-CT and on the BMIT beam line will enable
