Magnified 3D‐CT System Using the Portable Synchrotron “MIRRORCLE‐6X”

The portable synchrotron MERRORCLE‐6X is a novel x‐ray source suitable for hard x‐ray imaging. Highly brilliant x‐rays are generated by MIRRORCLE‐6X in the shape of cone from a source with micron size. We obtained images with high magnification and high resolution by these x‐rays, and found that they can be utilized for medical imaging. Recently, we started to perform ideal 3‐dimentional computed tomography (3D‐CT) based on the Feldkamp algorithm, which is the most popular reconstruction algorithm for a cone beam CT, using a flat panel detector. Therefore, we developed a magnified 3D‐CT system of high quality using MIRRORCLE‐6X.
