Direct recording and reconstruction of 3-D x-ray images
Abstract:
Theoretical and experimental investigations of a method for direct recording and reconstruction of 3-D x-ray images are described. When recording, an x-ray source is placed at discrete positions, and an x-ray grid is fixed on the x-ray plate. When reconstructing, a lenticular sheet matched with the grid is overlayed on the developed plate, and a parallax-panoramagram type 3-D image is seen with the naked eye. Using a small x-ray source designed for use in dental clinics and an x-ray grid matched with the lenticular sheet, 3-D x-ray images having a 0.001-rad resolvable angle and a 0.02-rad flipping angle are directly recognized with clear parallax.

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal crystal...
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
