Abstract

The liquid-metal-jet microfocus source presently provides a 5 to 25µm x-ray spot with up to 1kW e-beam power. This source enables several biomedical imaging applications where high spatial resolution, high contrast and short exposure time are critical. Examples: Cellular-resolution phase-contrast imaging for virtual x-ray histology as well as for clinical resection margin assessment, potentially with rapid intraoperative feedback. Preclinical in-vivo phase-contrast small-animal lung imaging and a path towards clinical phase-contrast medical imaging. Finally, x-ray fluorescence tomography for high-resolution molecular detection of tumors in live mice.
