Multi-scale, multi-modal X-ray imaging using speckle

该项目旨在开发新的X射线成像方法，以前所未有的长度和时间范围捕捉多种下一代图像形态。虽然传统的X射线成像通常用于医学和工业，但它只能可视化骨等高密度材料。为了揭示生物软组织等低密度物体和微小裂缝等微结构，该项目计划使用不依赖大型设施的稳健设置来提取两种互补的图像模式。预计开发的方法将为生物医学、材料科学和古生物学等领域的前沿研究以及安全、医疗诊断和制造等行业带来重大好处。

This project aims to develop new X-ray imaging methods that capture multiple next-generation image modalities at an unprecedented range of length and time scales. While conventional X-ray imaging is routinely used in medicine and industry, it can only visualise high-density materials like bone. To reveal low-density objects like biological soft tissue and microstructure like tiny cracks, the project plans to extract two complementary image modalities using a robust setup that does not rely on large-scale facilities. Significant benefits from the developed methods are expected for leading-edge research in fields including biomedicine, materials science and palaeontology, and industries such as security, medical diagnostics and manufacturing.
