What is Synchrotron Radiation Computed Tomography?
SRCT is a form of computed tomography, an imaging method commonly referred to as CT scanning. SRCT uses Synchrotron Radiation (SR) as its light source. SR is much brighter than an ordinary X-ray or CT scan light source, and creates much higher resolution images with microscopic spatial resolutions. The team are performing their experiments within the Biomedical Beamline at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble France, the most powerful synchrotron radiation source in Europe (pictured above right).
