Monday, June 15 / 2:00 pm–4:30 pm
Photonics Forum Hall B1, Stand 159
Chairmen: Dr. R. Sroka, Dr. H. Stepp, LIFE Center, University Clinic Munich
Lecture language: English

The highly brilliant x-rays generated by an ultrashort, well-focused laser pulse are an ideal source for new types of x-ray diagnostics in medicine: X-ray phasecontrast imaging (PCI) can distinguish between different kinds of soft tissue. In addition, the high photon density can also be used for fibre-based high resolution endoscopic imaging for minimally invasive diagnosis.
