Refraction Synchrotron Based Imaging Techniques. This item is unavailable.Refraction Synchrotron Based Imaging Techniques

This book describes refraction imaging using sychrotron radiation from a biomedical imaging perspective. It looks primarily at Diffraction Enhanced Imaging (DEI) or analyzer based imaging which uses the bending of x-rays to produce contrast instead of conventional absorption imaging. Emphasis is on the interpretation of refraction based images in a biomedical system and potential for more widespread applications.

Dr. Wiebe is a practicing pediatric radiologist at the Royal University Hospital of the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada. He has also been looking at new imaging techniques through involvement with the Biomedical Imaging and Therapy Beamline at the Canadian light source, Canada's National Synchrotron facility since 2004.
