The measurement protocol and data analysis procedure are given for obtaining transverse coherence of a synchrotron radiation X-ray source along four directions simultaneously using a single 2-D checkerboard phase grating. This simple technique can be applied for complete transverse coherence characterization of X-ray sources and X-ray optics.

Here, we present a protocol on how to determine the quantity and distribution of metals in a sample using synchrotron X-ray fluorescence. We focus on adherent cells, and describe the chemical fixation method to prepare this sample. We then describe how to mount and image the sample using synchrotron X-rays.

The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography. Diffraction Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

Source: Faisal Alamgir, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a technique used in materials science for determining the atomic and molecular structure of a material. This is done by irradiating a sample of the material with incident X-rays and then measuring the intensities and scattering angles of the X-rays that are scattered by the material. The intensity of the scattered X-rays are plotted as a function of the...

Here we show how to process tree cores with an X-ray computed tomography toolchain. Except for chemical extraction for some purposes, no further physical lab treatment is needed. The toolchain can be used for biomass estimations, for obtaining MXD/tree-ring width data as well as for obtaining quantitative wood anatomy data.
FAQs
Radiographic images show the relationship between a device, implant, or prosthetic component and the patient’s internal anatomy. External measurements may suggest an appropriate position but cannot fully confirm alignment beneath the surface. By revealing internal placement, this approach helps clinicians recognize discrepancies that could otherwise remain hidden and supports more informed adjustment decisions.
Alignment assessment provides a basis for determining whether a component matches the patient’s anatomy as intended. If imaging shows that positioning is not satisfactory, clinicians can make precise adjustments rather than relying only on external appearance or measurements. This visual feedback supports better fit, more consistent positioning, and improved functional planning.
Radiographic documentation creates a visual record of device or component placement relative to the patient’s anatomy. Clinicians can use that record to review alignment, identify potential problems, and support treatment planning. Documented images also help make the fitting process more consistent by preserving evidence of the position assessed during care.
The clinician first positions the relevant device, implant, or prosthetic component in relation to the patient’s anatomy. X-ray images are then obtained to evaluate placement and alignment. Based on those images, the component may be adjusted, followed by further assessment when needed. This image-based workflow connects fitting decisions with internal anatomical information.
Clinicians may consider X-ray guided fitting when accurate positioning cannot be confirmed through external measurements alone. The approach is particularly relevant to orthopedic procedures involving devices, implants, or prosthetic components, while also supporting other image-guided procedures. Its value is greatest when anatomical matching and alignment are important to treatment planning or device placement.
In orthopedic care, radiographic assessment helps clinicians evaluate whether a device or prosthetic component is positioned in relation to the patient’s anatomy as planned. The resulting information can guide adjustments, document placement, and reveal possible alignment concerns. These capabilities support safer planning and more consistent decisions during procedures that depend on accurate fitting.
