X-ray Imaging01:24

X-ray Imaging

10.5K
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...

X-ray Crystallography02:18

X-ray Crystallography

26.2K
The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

494
The most common cardiovascular diagnostic test is an X-ray. It produces images of the heart, blood vessels, and adjacent structures.
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Nursing Implementation01:15

Nursing Implementation

6.2K
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

The Wave Nature of Light02:12

The Wave Nature of Light

61.5K
The nature of light has been a subject of inquiry since antiquity. In the seventeenth century, Isaac Newton performed experiments with lenses and prisms and was able to demonstrate that white light consists of the individual colors of the rainbow combined together. Newton explained his optics findings in terms of a "corpuscular" view of light, in which light was composed of streams of extremely tiny particles traveling at high speeds according to Newton's laws of motion.

Characteristics of Practical Op Amps01:16

Characteristics of Practical Op Amps

870
A difference amplifier, a crucial component in numerous electronic devices, ideally amplifies only the difference-mode signal, which is the difference between two input signals. However, in practical circuits, the output voltage depends on both the differential gain and the common-mode gain.
The ratio of differential gain to the common-mode gain is defined as the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). This ratio quantifies the ability of operational amplifiers (op-amps) to reject common-mode...

Area of Science:

  • Physics
  • Optics
  • Imaging Science

Background:

  • Ghost imaging is a computational imaging technique that reconstructs an object's image by measuring correlations between two light beams.
  • Traditional ghost imaging often uses visible light, but X-ray ghost imaging offers potential for higher resolution and penetration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an experimental procedure for transmission X-ray ghost imaging using synchrotron light.
  • To explore the feasibility and practical aspects of X-ray ghost imaging for future applications.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized hard X-rays from an undulator source.
  • Split the X-ray beam into two copies using a beamsplitter.
  • Measured both beams simultaneously on an indirect pixellated detector.
  • Retrieved the ghost image by calculating the intensity correlation between the two beams.

Main Results:

  • Successfully demonstrated transmission X-ray ghost imaging.
  • Retrieved ghost images of samples without direct measurement.
  • Discussed data acquisition, image reconstruction, and system point-spread function.

Conclusions:

  • The presented X-ray ghost imaging approach is viable for practical applications.
  • This technique is adaptable for various X-ray sources, including undulators and free-electron lasers.
  • Potential for future applications in materials science, biology, and non-destructive testing.
