Description

At SPring-8, a microangiography system with spatial resolution down to 10μm was developed using an X-ray direct-conversion type detector incorporating an X-ray SATICON pickup tube for biomedical imaging. An X-ray image is directly converted into an electric signal in a photoconductive layer without image blur. Because of the large depth of field, the microangiography system using a nearly parallel synchrotron radiation beam has advantages over light microscopes for imaging of internal structures of centimeter-sized objects with resolution in the micrometer range. Rat tumor blood vessels with diameters of 20-30μm in a vascular network produced by angiogenesis were visualized after contrast material injection.
