Traditional bandages could be useful for healing minor skin abrasions, but soft-tissue injuries, such as those on the tongue or sensitive regions like the intestines, are more difficult to treat.
The dark-field X-ray technology has been implemented into a CT scanner appropriate for clinical usage for the first time by a team of researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Dark-field imaging adds to the information offered by conventional X-ray imaging. It is now feasible to create 3D dark-field X-ray images using the new prototype.
