Double take makes the most of X-rays to enhance synchrotron images

Is there something basically wrong with present-day radiology techniques? The answer would seem to be yes, on the basis of recent results from the National Synchrotron Light Source in the US. The results show that the limited quality of conventional X-ray images can be dramatically improved by exploiting synchrotron light (D Chapman et al. 1997 Phys. Med. Biol. 42 2015). Moreover, there is no need for a high radiation dose. (author)
