Summary

Multi-scale, multi-modal X-ray imaging using speckle. This project aims to develop new X-ray imaging methods that capture multiple next-generation image modalities at an unprecedented range of length and time scales. While conventional X-ray imaging is routinely used in medicine and industry, it can only visualise high-density materials like bone. To reveal low-density objects like biological soft tissue and microstructure like tiny cracks, the project plans to extract two complementary image mo .... Multi-scale, multi-modal X-ray imaging using speckle. This project aims to develop new X-ray imaging methods that capture multiple next-generation image modalities at an unprecedented range of length and time scales. While conventional X-ray imaging is routinely used in medicine and industry, it can only visualise high-density materials like bone. To reveal low-density objects like biological soft tissue and microstructure like tiny cracks, the project plans to extract two complementary image modalities using a robust setup that does not rely on large-scale facilities. Significant benefits from the developed methods are expected for leading-edge research in fields including biomedicine, materials science and palaeontology, and industries such as security, medical diagnostics and manufacturing.
