February 2007 Available online 25 February 2007 Abstract We have used synchrotron X-ray diffraction to study the texture and the change in lattice parameter as a function of position in a cross section of human dental enamel. Our study is the first to map changes in preferred orientation and lattice parameter as a function of position within enamel across a whole tooth section with such high resolution. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction with a micro-focused beam spot was used to collect two-dimensional (2D)

multiple myeloma due to poor sensitivity of scintigraphy in this condition.[4,6] Plain radiography Radiography is the use of x-rays to visualize the internal structures of a patient. X-Rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, produced by an x-ray tube. The x-rays are passed through the body and captured behind the patient by a detector; film sensitive to x-rays or a digital detector. There is variance in

Fluoroscopy is an imaging technique that uses X-rays to obtain real-time moving images of the internal structures of a patient through the use of a fluoroscope. In its simplest form, a fluoroscope consists of an X-ray source and fluorescent screen between which a patient is placed. However, modern fluoroscopes couple the screen to an X-ray image intensifier and CCD video camera allowing the images to be recorded and played on a monitor. The use of X-rays, a form of ionizing radiation, requires the potential
