Abstract:
Until recently, instruments used to image small biological objects directly have involved the use of light microscopy or electron microscopy. Presently, the use of x-rays has emerged as another probe to investigate details in biological specimens. X-rays can be used either by using an x-ray “lens”, which will be discussed by others at this symposium or by a direct contact “print” of the object on a special emulsion. This latter method is what will be discussed in this paper.The object to be ‘photographed’ is prepared on a substrate and then placed in contact with a resist such as poly- methyl-methacrylate (PMMA). This polymer has the property that when it is exposed to x-rays and then placed in a solution of methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) it will 'develop’ depending on the number of x-ray photons absorbed in the PMMA. This three dimensional relief structure is actually a photon density map of the specimen.

Abstract:
The energy range of hard X-rays is a key waveband to the study of high energy processes in celestial objects, but still remains poorly explored. In contrast to direct imaging methods used in the low energy X-ray and high energy gamma-ray bands, currently imaging in the hard X-ray band is mainly achieved through various modulation techniques. A new inversion technique, the direct demodulation method, has been developed since early 90s. with this technique, wide field and high resolution images can be derived from scanning data of a simple collimated detector. The feasibility of this technique has been confirmed by experiment, balloon-borne observation and analyzing simulated and real astronomical data. Based the development of methodology and instrumentation, a high energy astrophysics mission – Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT) has been proposed and selected in China for a four-year Phase-A study. The main scientific objectives are a full-sky hard X-ray (20–200 keV) imaging survey and high signal-to-noise ratio timing studies of high energy sources.

Abstract:
To a large extent, the performance of imaging systems is determined by their objectives, which affect properties as varied as collection efficiency, resolving power, and image distortions. Such limitations can be addressed by so-called aperture synthesis, a technique used, for instance, in radar, astronomy, and, increasingly, microscopy. Here, we apply such techniques to x-ray imaging and demonstrate how Fourier ptychography can be used at transmission x-ray microscopes to increase resolution, provide quantitative absorption and phase contrast, and allow for corrections of lens aberrations. We anticipate that such methods will find common and frequent applications, alleviating a number of limitations imposed by x-ray optical elements, offering an alternative approach to phase contrast imaging, and providing novel opportunities to mitigate radiation damage.

Abstract:
A new transmission X-ray imaging technique using ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering (USAXS) as a contrast mechanism is described. USAXS imaging can sometimes provide contrast in cases where radiography and phase-contrast imaging are unsuccessful. Images produced at different scattering vectors highlight different microstructural features within the same sample volume. When used in conjunction with USAXS scans, USAXS imaging provides substantial quantitative and qualitative three-dimensional information on the sizes, shapes and spatial arrangements of the scattering objects. The imaging technique is demonstrated on metal and biological samples.

Abstract:
In recent times, there has been a drive to develop non-destructive X-ray imaging techniques that provide chemical or physical insight. To date, these methods have generally been limited; either requiring raster scanning of pencil beams, using narrow bandwidth radiation and/or limited to small samples. We have developed a novel full-field radiographic imaging technique that enables the entire physio-chemical state of an object to be imaged in a single snapshot. The method is sensitive to emitted and scattered radiation, using a spectral imaging detector and polychromatic hard X-radiation, making it particularly useful for studying large dense samples for materials science and engineering applications. The method and its extension to three-dimensional imaging is validated with a series of test objects and demonstrated to directly image the crystallographic preferred orientation and formed precipitates across an aluminium alloy friction stir weld section.

Abstract:
X-ray specular reflectivity measurement is a powerful method for investigating surfaces, and the shape analysis of the X-ray reflectivity curve provides a range of possibilities for the study of surface structure, thin layers and multilayers. The wide field applications of this technique in modern technology explains its increasing use. The typical equipment for this technique is usually a reflectometer with an angular scanning that requires a long time for studying a surface size of a few mm 2. This article proposes a new method for simultaneous detection of several experimental reflectivity curves without incidence angle scanning and thus with a shorter aquisition time, typically 2–60 s. The method is illustrated with a first experiment using a divergent X-ray beam and a 2D detector. Furthermore, such an approach provides a new imaging technique for the surface and interface. The images obtained that way can concern the direct visualization of isolated defects sited on a very flat surface or buried interface; a domain where the X-ray reflectivity cannot be used. The feasibility of X-ray images at grazing incidence has also been demonstrated. The technique will hereafter be noted as total reflection X-ray microscopy (TRXRM).

Abstract:
A new multi-platform freeware has been developed for the processing and reconstruction of scanning multi-technique X-ray imaging and tomography datasets. The software platform aims to treat different scanning imaging techniques: X-ray fluorescence, phase, absorption and dark field and any of their combinations, thus providing an easy-to-use data processing tool for the X-ray imaging user community. A dedicated data input stream copes with the input and management of large datasets (several hundred GB) collected during a typical multi-technique fast scan at the Nanoscopium beamline and even on a standard PC. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first software tool that aims at treating all of the modalities of scanning multi-technique imaging and tomography experiments.

Abstract:
With X-ray phase contrast imaging technique, the pulmonary lesions induced by multi-walled carbon nanotubes were preliminarily studied in this work. After 0.1, 1 and 2 mg nanotubes were delivered into lungs of rats via trachea, their acute pulmonary toxicity (at 5-day postexposure) was assessed using X-ray phase contrast, absorption contrast imaging and routine pathological slice techniques. As such, the long-term pulmonary toxicity (at 140-day postexposure), induced by single intratracheal instillation of 0.1 mg nanotubes, was assessed using X-ray phase contrast imaging and pathological slice techniques. As a consequence, the nanotubes could induce obvious density and structural integrity alternation in lung tissue at 5-day postexposure and granulomas at 140-day postexposure, and these pathologic lesions could be efficiently detected out with the phase imaging technique. By comparison, this technique not only gained advantage over the conventional X-ray absorption contrast imaging but also could supply the gap of routine pathological slice in detecting pulmonary lesions induced by carbon nanotubes. It is hoped that this work can act as an impetus for further application of phase imaging technique to nanotoxicology and to assessment of occupational safety of nanomaterials.

Abstract:
Nephrolithiasis can be a painful problem due to presence of kidney stones. Kidney stone is among the common painful disorders of the urinary system. Various imaging modalities are used to diagnose patients with symptoms of renal or urinary tract disease such as plain kidney, ureter, bladder x-ray (KUB), intravenous pyelography (IVP), and computed tomography (CT). As a traditional three-dimensional (3D) nephrolithiasis and kidney stones detection technique, computed tomography (CT) provides detailed cross-sectional images as well as 3D structure of kidney from moving the x-ray beam in a circle around the body. However, the risk of CT scans of the kidney is relatively higher exposure to radiation which is more than regular x-rays. C-arm technique is a new x-ray imaging modality that uses 2D array detector and cone shaped x-ray beam to create 3D information about the scanned object. Both x-ray source and 2D array detector cells mounted on C-shaped wheeled structure (C-arm). A series of projection images are acquired by rotating the C-arm around the patient in along circular path with a single rotation. The characteristic structure of C-arm allows to provide wide variety of movements around the patient that helps to remain the patient stationary during scanning time. In this work, we investigated a C-arm technique to generate a series of tomographic images for nephrolithiasis and detection of kidney stones. C-arm tomographic technique (C-arm tomosynthesis) as a new three dimensional (3D) kidney imaging method that provides a series of two dimensional (2D) images along partial circular orbit over limited view angle. Our experiments were done with kidney phantom which formed from a pig kidney with two embedded kidney stones inside it and low radiation dosage. Radiation dose and scanning time needed for kidney imaging are all dramatically reduced due to the cone beam geometry and also to limitation of angular rotation. To demonstrate the capability of our C-arm tomosynthesis to generate 3D kidney information for kidney stone detection, two groups of tomographic image reconstruction algorithms were developed for C-arm tomosynthesis: direct algorithms such as filtered back projection (FBP) and iterative algorithms such as simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique (SART), maximum likelihood expectation maximization (MLEM), ordered- subset maximum likelihood expectation maximization (OS-MLEM) and Pre-computed penalized likelihood reconstruction (PPL). Three reconstruction methods were investigated including: pixel-driven method (PDM), ray-driven method (RDM) and distance driven method (DDM). Each method differs in their efficiency of calculation accuracy per computing time. Preliminary results demonstrated the capability of proposed technique to generate volumetric data about the kidney for nephrolithiasis and kidney stone detection by using all investigated reconstruction algorithms. In spite of each algorithms differs in their strategies, embedded kidney stone can be clearly visualized in all reconstruction results. Computer simulation studies were also done on simulated phantom to evaluate the results for each reconstruction algorithm. To mimic kidney phantom, simulated phantom was simulated with two different size kidney stones. Dataset of projection images was collated by using a virtual C-arm tomosynthesis with geometric configuration similar to real technique. All investigated algorithms were used to reconstruct 3D information. Different of image quality functions were applied to evaluate the imaging system and the reconstruction algorithms. The results show the capability of C-arm tomosynthesis to generate 3D information of kidney structures and to identify the size and location of kidney stones with limited amount of radiation dose.

Abstract:

Over the past couple of decades there has been tremendous advancements in the field of medicine and engineering technology. Increases in the level of integration between these two branches of science has led to better understanding of physiology and anatomy of a living organism, thus allowing for better understanding of diseases along with their cures and treatments. The work presented in this dissertation aims at improving the imaging aspects of x-ray image guided interventions with endovascular image guided intervention as the primary area of application.

Minimally invasive treatments for neurovascular conditions such as aneurysms, stenosis, etc involve guidance of catheters to the treatment area, and deployment of treatment devices such as stents, coils, balloons, etc, all under x-ray image guidance. The features in these device are in the order of a few 10 µm's to a few 100 µm's and hence demand higher resolution imaging than the current state of the art flat panel detector. To address this issue three high resolution x-ray cameras were developed. The Micro Angiography Fluoroscope (MAF) based on a Charge Coupled Device (MAF-CCD), the MAF based on Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductors (MAF-CMOS) and the Solid State X-ray Image Intensifier based on Electron Multiplying CCDs. The construction details along with performance evaluations are presented. The MAF-CCD was successfully used in a few interventions on human patient to treat neurovascular conditions, primarily aneurysm. Images acquired by the MAF-CCD during these procedures are presented.

A software platform CAPIDS was previously developed to facilitate the use of the high resolution MAF-CCD in a clinical environment. In this work the platform was modified to be used with any camera. The upgrades to CAPIDS, along with parallel programming including both the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) and Central Processing Unit (CPU) are presented.

With increasing use of x-ray guidance for minimally invasive interventions, a major cause of concern is that of prolonged exposure to x-ray radiation that can cause biological damage to the patient. Hence during x-ray guided procedures necessary steps must be taken to minimize the dose to the patient. In this work a novel dose reduction technique, using a combination of Region of Interest (ROI) fluoroscopy to reduce dose along with spatially different temporal filtering to restore image quality is presented.

Finally a novel ROI imaging technique for biplane imaging in interventional suites, combining the use of high resolution detector along with dose reduction technique using ROI fluoroscopy with spatially different temporal filtering is presented.

Abstract:
For the education of X-ray imaging, having a detailed knowledge on the interaction of radiation with matter is very important. Also the generation and detection concepts of the X-ray have to be grasped well. Sometimes it is not easy to visualize the interactions and assess the scheme in quantum physics level for the medical doctors and the engineers who have not studied on the modern physics in an appropriate level. This thesis aims to visualize these interactions, X-ray generation and detection, and computerized tomographic imaging. With these simulations, the user can 1) observe and analyze which type of interaction occurs under which condition, 2) understand the interaction cross sections and interaction results, 3) visualise X-ray generation and detection features, 4) clarify the method of image reconstruction, and the features affecting the image quality in computerized tomography system. This is accomplished by changing the controllable variables of the radiation and the systems with the provided interfaces. In this thesis, JAVA/FLASH based simulation interfaces are designed to easily assess the subject. The benefits of these software are their ability to execute the programs prepared on the World Wide Web media. The interfaces are accessible from anywhere, at any time.

Abstract:
X-ray micro computed tomography (Micro-CT) has emerged as a powerful tool in petroleum industry for non-destructive 3D imaging of rock samples, that offers micron-scale spatial resolution images of the distribution of porosity, permeability, and fluid phases of the specimens. Micro-CT obtain the radiographic projections of a sample at different angles and use a mathematical procedure to reconstruct a 3D tomogram of the sample's X-ray attenuation coefficients. Through my thesis, the aim was to investigate and improve two main issue which micro-CT suffers from: 1) beam hardening (BH) artefacts and, 2) the requirement of material characterisation. This thesis contributes in addressing these fundamental issues by providing the "energy selective techniques" as follows. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the basics of tomography including physics of X-rays and energy dependent form of attenuation coefficient. Chapter 2 reviews the BH effects and the existing correction methods, followed by a brief review of the material characterisation methods. Chapter 3 assess the accuracy of five different linearisation BH correction models including polynomial, bimodal, power law, cubic spline and zero-order using the sample that have been imaged at ANU CT facility by measuring the BH curves directly and remapping the inverse of the models to data. Chapter 4 is based on a published conference proceeding paper [1] that applies the power law BH correction method of chapter 3 to correct the artefacts of specimens composed of concentric cylinders, e.g., a rock core within a container. Chapter 5 is based on a published paper in the Journal of Applied Physics [2] that uses dual-energy CT and the Alvarez and Macovski [3] transmitted intensity (AMTI) model to estimate the maps of density (rho) and atomic number (Z) of mineralogical samples. In this method, the attenuation coefficients are represented in the form of the two most important interactions of X-rays with atoms that is, PE and CS. This enables material discrimination as PE and CS are respectively dependent on Z and rho of materials [3]. Chapter 6 implements two simplified form of the full model of chapter 5: 1) Alvarez and Macovski polynomial (AMP) model [3], Alvarez and Macovski presented the full model but used a polynomial simplified form of it to estimate rho and Z of materials, 2) Siddiqui and Khamees (SK) model [4] that simplified the attenuation model, by assuming two monochromatic radiations. Chapter 7 presents a method to estimate the properties of sample materials from measurements of transmitted intensity and its statistical variance (TIV model). The method only requires single energy imaging, i.e., eliminates the need for requirements of dual-energy imaging for AMTI method and its simplified forms. The registered intensity on the detector is proportional to a form of "average" energy of detected quanta of X-ray spectra. The variance images can serve the same purpose as the higher energy information required in dual-energy imaging. Chapter 8 modified the TIV model of chapter 7 to apply it directly for BH correction without necessarily estimation of the properties of sample materials. The chapter also presents a simplified form of TIV model (STIV) that normalises the average intensity image.

Abstract:
This dissertation presents the characterization and evaluation of a new radiological imaging modality, Toshiba Computed Radiography (TCR) 201. The characteristics of the TCR storage phosphor imaging plates such as energy-dependent x-ray quantum efficiency, stored signal decay, low exposure rate signal build-up, and spontaneous and stimulated gain measures are presented. The TCR 201 system is characterized by the signal transfer curve, the total root-mean-squared (rms) output noise, the signal-to-noise ratio, the modulation transfer function (MTF), its noise power spectrum (NPS), and the detective quantum efficiency (DQE). The system rms noise is photon-limited for exposures less than 1.0 mR, but has contributions from phosphor structure and quantization noise for exposures higher than 1.0 mR. The phosphor's information factor is shown to explain deviations from ideal photon-limited noise for exposures of less than 1.0 mR. The MTF of the system is measured for standard imaging plates, 10% at 2.8 lp/mm, and for high resolution imaging plates, 10% at 4.4 lp/mm. An expression for the NPS is statistically derived, and experimental measurements confirm the expression and show an increase in uncorrelated noise power above 1.0 mR which is consistent with rms measurements. Expressions for the DQE are presented. A psychophysical study is performed to directly compare the TCR to film/screen combinations in imaging low-contrast objects. The results of this study show the TCR provides better images for detectability as a function of exposure. Also, the use of the TCR 201 as a two dimensional dosimeter and in single-shot dual energy subtraction is presented.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 50).
Improvised explosive devices (IED) pose a very serious threat to civilians and military forces around the world, and new technologies must be developed for the early detection of these objects. Because of the high concentrations of low atomic number material such as nitrogen and hydrogen present in these explosives, x-ray backscattering provides a viable method of collecting information about these targets by analyzing their shape. Furthermore, a coded aperture used in conjunction with dynamic reconstruction algorithms offers high sensitivity and resolution even while the target is moving towards the detector. This paper describes a lab-based system that simulated a source-target-detector arrangement to be utilized in a radiation detecting vehicle in order to test dynamic reconstruction methods. Using a 225 kVp x-ray tube as the source, a medical CT-system camera fitted with a drill mask of 50% fill factor as the detector, and both radioisotope sources and low Z backscatter targets, images were acquired and reconstructed. The geometry of the experimental setup was optimized to reduce background noise from air scatter and environmental sources, as well as to prevent incident photons from directly reaching the detector from the x-ray tube. Measurements of a Co-60 point source and Co-57 area source with high activity generated high contrast images for which the shapes of the sources were clearly resolved. Acquisitions with varying target-detector distance of low Z materials, including a filled water jug and a four inch thick polyethylene arrow, produced lower contrast images in which the shapes were not as easily distinguished. The radioisotope tests were a proof of principle for dynamic reconstruction and the backscatter targets provided much insight on methods for improving the lab system, including the addition of steel behind the target, the narrowing of the detector energy window, and reassessment of the x-ray cone-beam.

Abstract:
The primary aim of the work presented in this thesis is to elucidate novel information regarding the uptake, storage, distributions, and functions of both copper and zinc in mammalian cells by predominantly using a combination of the high resolution imaging modalities, synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence microscopy (SXRF) and standard fluorescence imaging. Results from studies using cell permeable, metal ion selective fluorescent probes suggested the presence of labile pools of copper and zinc localized within the mitochondria and Golgi apparatus. Furthermore, SXRF imaging of a cell line defective in the copper transporter, Atox1, revealed intriguing differences in the Cu distribution of Atox1-/- cells compared to the corresponding wild-type cells. Finally, spatially well-resolved SXRF elemental maps of single, adherent mouse cells revealed remarkable changes in the distributions of both zinc and copper as the cells progressed through the cell cycle. Taken together, findings suggested major roles for copper and zinc within a native biological setting.

Modern developments in the production of coherent, ultra-bright, and ultra-short X-ray and XUV pulses have even enabled lensless, single-shot imaging of individual, transient, non-periodic objects. The data collected in this technique are diffraction images, which are intensity distributions of the scattered photons from the object. Superfluid helium droplets are ideal systems to study with CDI, since each droplet is unique on its own. It is also not immediately apparent what shapes the droplets would take or what structures are formed by dopant particles inside the droplet. In this chapter, we review the current state of research on helium droplets using CDI, particularly, the study of droplet shape deformation, the in-situ configurations of dopant nanostructures, and their dynamics after being excited by an intense laser pulse. Since CDI is a rather new technique for helium nanodroplet research, we also give a short introduction on this method and on the different light sources available for X-ray and XUV experiments.

Abstract:
X-ray radiographic imaging techniques have been applied in many fields. Previously we proposed a method for X-ray phase imaging using X-ray Talbot interferometry which requires the use of X-ray gratings. In this work, we fabricated the X-ray gratings needed for X-ray Talbot interferometry using an X-ray lithography technique. For X-ray lithography the accuracy of the fabricated structure depends largely on the accuracy of the X-ray mask. Conventionally a resin material is used for the support membrane for large area X-ray masks. However, resin membranes have the disadvantage that they can sag after several cycles of X-ray exposure due to the heat generated by the X-rays. For our new proposal we used thin carbon wafers for the membrane material because carbon has an extremely small thermal expansion coefficient. This new type of X-ray mask is very easy to process, and it is expected that it will lead to more precise X-ray masks. We fabricated carbon membrane X-ray masks on 6 inch wafers with a 1:1 line-to-space ratio and a pitch of 5.3 μm, covering a large effective area of 100 × 100 mm2.

Abstract:
X-ray imaging, as a noninvasive flow visualization technique, has been shown to be a useful method for observing and characterizing multiphase flows. One type of X-ray flow visualization technique, called X-ray Particle Tracking Velocimetry (XPTV), tracks an X-ray attenuating particle in an opaque fluid flow. A significant challenge with XPTV is identifying tracer particles with the desired fluid flow characteristics (e.g., small and neutrally buoyant) but yet differentially attenuate X-rays, which is based primarily on density differences. This paper describes the manufacturing of XPTV tracer particles that satisfy specific particle characteristics including high X-ray attenuation, uniform shape, specified effective density, and desired diameter. An example use of these particles as an intruder particle in a fluidized bed (to simulate biomass injection) is then demonstrated using X-ray stereographic imaging to determine intruder particle position as a function of time in a three-dimensional opaque system.

Abstract:
Abstract X-ray propagation-based phase-enhanced imaging is a powerful new technique that uses the x-ray beam coherence to greatly improve the image contrast. With the high x-ray beam brilliance (or alternately, good beam coherence) available at third-generation synchrotron sources, such as the Advanced Photon Source (APS), propagation-based phase-enhanced imaging can be easily accomplished. The power of this technique lies in its simplicity — it is an in-line geometry and requires little or no beam manipulation, and it works over the entire range of accessible energies (10–100 keV). Unlike conventional radiography, its contrast mechanism is mostly due to Fresnel diffraction and not absorption. The technique works for soft biological samples, as well as thick (several millimeters) stainless-steel samples. In this paper, we demonstrate the utility of this technique to study several fuel injectors and compare the results with conventional absorption radiography. The possibility of extending this technique to time-resolved imaging studies on the fuel injector will be discussed.

Abstract:
As Americans become increasingly health conscious, they have increased their consumptionof boneless white and skinless poultry meat. To the poultry industry, accurate detection of bonefragments and other hazards in de-boned poultry meat is important to ensure food quality andsafety for consumers. X-ray imaging is widely used for internal material inspection. However,traditional x-ray technology has limited success with high false-detection errors mainly becauseof its inability to consistently recognize bone fragments in meat of uneven thickness. Today’srapid grow-out practices yield chicken bones that are less calcified. Bone fragments under x-rayshave low contrast from meat. In addition, the x-ray energy reaching the image detector varieswith the uneven meat thickness. Differences in x-ray absorption due to the unevenness inevitablyproduce false patterns in x-ray images and make it hard to distinguish between hazardousinclusions and normal meat patterns even by human visual inspection from the images.Consequently, the false patterns become camouflage under x-ray absorptions of variant meatthickness in physics, which remains a major limitation to detecting hazardous materials byprocessing x-ray images alone.Under the support of BARD, USDA, and US Poultry industries, we have aimed todeveloping a new technology that uses combined x-ray and laser imaging to detect bonefragments in de-boned poultry. The technique employs the synergism of sensors of differentprinciples and has overcome the deficiency of x-rays in physics of letting x-rays work alone inbone fragment detection. X-rays in conjunction of laser-based imaging was used to eliminatefalse patterns and provide higher sensitivity and accuracy to detect hazardous objects in the meatfor poultry processing lines.Through intensive research, we have met all the objectives we proposed during the researchperiod. Comprehensive experiments have proved the concept and demonstrated that the methodhas been capable of detecting frequent hard-to-detect bone fragments including fan bones andfractured rib and pulley bone pieces (but not cartilage yet) regardless of their locations anduneven meat thickness without being affected by skin, fat, and blood clots or blood vines.
