SPring-8, the large synchrotron radiation facility

Inquiry number

INS-0000000314

ABSTRACT

  The bending-magnet beamline is allocated to medical applications and various imaging techniques in the energy range of 5-113 keV. The main optics is a fixed-exit double crystal monochromator. The X-ray beam produced by the bending magnet passes out of the experimental hall surrounding the storage ring and enters the biomedical imaging center. The experiments are performed in the experimental hall and the biomedical imaging center for alternative operations.

AREA OF RESEARCH

• The medical research mainly involves micro-radiography, micro-tomography and refraction-contrast imaging on biological specimens and small animals.
• Imaging techniques involve the evaluation and development of various kinds of optical elements for novel imaging techniques.
