Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Imaging
  • Medical Physics
  • Radiology

Background:

  • X-rays have been a cornerstone of non-invasive, high-resolution imaging since 1895, primarily for structural analysis of bone and implants.
  • Traditional X-ray applications are limited to structural details, with less capacity for functional or molecular information.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review emerging X-ray contrast methodologies for advanced biomedical imaging.
  • To highlight the expansion of X-ray applications from structural to functional and molecular imaging.
  • To discuss the potential of these techniques for in situ biochemistry and disease pathology studies.

Main Methods:

  • Discussion of X-ray absorption for physiological imaging.
  • Exploration of X-ray fluorescence for elemental imaging.
