X-ray Diffraction Imaging
Bio/medical Systems
Ever since their discovery in 1895, X-rays have been used to provide patients with improved medical care and have given doctors tools for better understanding disease
Conventional transmission X-ray images do a wonderful job at some tasks (like diagnosing broken bones)
However, these transmission X-ray images can be misleading or incapable of delivering the information needed for an accurate diagnosis (like in evaluating cancer)
Quadridox's X-ray Diffraction Imaging systems go beyond traditional X-ray imagery to provide the information needed to make accurate and timely diagnoses
