Correlative Imaging with Multi-energy X-ray Tomography

：福特博士的研究实验室在肺部临床前微型计算机断层扫描（micro-CT）成像方面拥有强大的背景，开发了多能量对比增强的微型CT成像方案，使用碘和氙作为对比剂，分别显示血管和气道。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，包括氙的第一个K边缘减法（KES）成像和第一个使用啮齿动物呼吸信号的图像，以触发在指定的呼吸阶段的图像采集。我们的微CT技术和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
