More sensitive X-ray imaging

Making nanoscale patterns in “scintillator” materials that convert X-rays into light could allow a tenfold signal enhancement for medical or industrial imaging, MIT researchers report. This method might lead to improvements in medical X-rays or CT scans, to reduce dose exposure and improve image quality.
