Description

The portable synchrotron MERRORCLE-6X is a novel x-ray source suitable for hard x-ray imaging. Highly brilliant x-rays are generated by MIRRORCLE-6X in the shape of cone from a source with micron size. We obtained images with high magnification and high resolution by these x-rays, and found that they can be utilized for medical imaging. Recently, we started to perform ideal 3-dimentional computed tomography (3D-CT) based on the Feldkamp algorithm, which is the most popular reconstruction algorithm for a cone beam CT, using a flat panel detector. Therefore, we developed a magnified 3D-CT system of high quality using MIRRORCLE-6X
