Papers by Keyword: Parametric X-Ray

Abstract: In 1895, Dr. Wilhelm Conrad Röentgen discovered the electromagnetic radiation called X-rays. Since the great finding, the applications of X-ray imaging have expanded. One of most important application is medical use, such as imaging diagnosis or radiation therapy. Also, applications of X-ray are based on the strong interactions with materials including transmission, absorption, diffraction, reflection, scattering, and emission. Today, X-ray imaging is applied to more delicate medical and life sciences, as well as basic sciences, because it is needed for its brilliance, power, and coherence. [1-6]

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to determine the potential of the LEBRA-PXR imaging in investigating the details of newly formed bone around the dental implants. Transmission image observation of the undecalcified specimen at the wavelength of 1.771 Å showed clearly the formation of immaturely calcified new bone around the dental implants which could not be observed in the usual CMR nor conventional X-ray imaging apparatus.
