The optimization of an energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction system for potential clinical application

In the past decade, energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXRD) has been used to identify the nature of tissues. However, these systems have limited clinical use because of problems such as the long measurement times. In this study, the relation between various setup parameters and some performance specifications such as sensitivity, spatial resolution and momentum transfer resolution were assessed using both geometrical calculations and …
