Prospective-gated cardiac micro-CT imaging of free-breathing mice using carbon nanotube field emission x-ray: Cardiac micro-CT using carbon nanotube x-ray
Purpose: Carbon nanotube (CNT) based field emission x-ray source technology has recently been investigated for diagnostic imaging applications because of its attractive characteristics including electronic programmability, fast switching, distributed source, and multiplexing. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the potential of this technology for high-resolution prospective-gated cardiac micro-CT imaging
