New quantitative methods in X-ray imaging using crystal optics

该项目将加强澳大利亚科学在x射线成像领域的国际领导地位。这种功能强大的x射线成像技术利用了由完美晶体构成的光学元件，专门用于传统x射线技术无法看到的图像样本。这种“扩展x射线视觉”对医学、生物学和材料科学的成像极为重要。此外，我们将培训未来的x射线科学家，他们的专业知识将使澳大利亚能够利用其在澳大利亚同步加速器上的投资。

This project will enhance Australian science's international leadership in the area of x-ray imaging. This powerful type of X-ray imaging, which makes use of optical elements made of perfect crystals, is specially tailored to image samples which are invisible to conventional x-ray techniques. Such "extended x-ray vision" is extremely important for imaging in medicine, biology and materials science. Furthermore, we will train x-ray scientists of tomorrow, whose expertise will allow Australia to capitalize on its investment in the Australian Synchrotron.
