Ready for preclinical research - a novel CT scanner with innovative x-ray technology

A promising approach for producing medical images with enhanced soft tissue visibility — grating-based x-ray phase contrast — has now advanced from bench-top studies to implementation in an in vivo preclinical computed tomography scanner. A team led by scientists at the TUM published the first experimental results demonstrating the practical potential of this technology.
