X-ray Imaging01:24

X-ray Imaging

11.0K
German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

Dual Nature of Electromagnetic (EM) Radiation

4.7K
Electromagnetic (EM) radiation consists of electric and magnetic field components oscillating in planes perpendicular to each other and mutually perpendicular to radiation propagation through space. EM radiation can be classified as a wave, characterized by the properties of waves such as wavelength (denoted as λ) and frequency (represented by ν).
Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks (the highest point) or troughs (the lowest point) in the wave. Frequency is the number of...

Determination of Crystal Structures

48
In the late 1800s, the revelation that light extended beyond visible wavelengths led to the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Roentgen. Recognized as high-energy electromagnetic radiation with short wavelengths, X-rays prompted exploration into their interaction with crystals. Max von Laue proposed in 1912 that the periodic arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in crystals would cause them to diffract X-rays, a hypothesis confirmed through experiments with copper sulfate and zinc sulfide...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Materials Science
  • Digital Radiography

Background:

  • Dual-energy X-ray radiography offers material discrimination but struggles with overlapping materials.

Main Methods:

  • A three-step algorithm: α-curve-based pre-classification, decomposition of overlapped materials, and final material recognition.
  • Development of a dual-energy radiograph database for pure basis materials and their combinations.
  • Dynamic decomposition of dual-energy projections of overlapped materials into pure material radiographs.

Main Results:

  • The algorithm successfully decomposes overlapped materials in dual-energy X-ray projections.
