Advanced hard X-ray imaging methods for biomedical and material science studies

Imaging techniques play an important role in several research fields from medicine to biology, from material science to geosciences, cultural heritage and archaeology studies. Optical and scanning electron microscopy techniques are widely adopted tools for the investigation of the texture and morphology in a large range of materials. Imaging techniques based on hard X-ray are also of particular interest and microradiography has proved to be useful for clinical diagnostics and for the investigation of crystal growth or during in operando studies in batteries.
In the last two decades, great interest has been posed on X-ray computed microtomography (micro-CT) techniques, both employing microfocus and synchrotron radiation sources. These techniques produce three-dimensional (3D) images of the internal structure of objects with a spatial resolution at the micron- and submicron- scale. Investigations performed directly in the 3D domain with a non-destructive approach are more suitable for further complementary analyses and for precious or unique samples (such as fossils and archeological finds). More recently, a big challenge is represented by environmental studies where materials or biological tissues are studied in dynamic conditions (in situ and real time, in vivo, in operando), the so-called 4D CT imaging. Several scientific applications of advanced hard X-ray imaging techniques will be presented in this seminar.
