Coherent Diffraction Imaging

Coherent Diffraction Imaging or CDI, is a specific-purpose display reconstruction system for tiny objects in the nanoscale. It supports both 2D and 3D imaging, and as such is an excellent imaging method for enlarging nanoscale structures for examination and manipulation.

It can use many different wavelengths, from Xrays right through to photon streams. What matters is not the wavelength, but that a coherent stream of wavelike particles impacts upon the object to be imaged. This beam is diffracted by the object to be measured, and the diffraction pattern sampled by a detector. This pattern is then used to reconstruct the original object as a 2D or 3D model for use elsewhere.

Below, we offer a selection of links from our resource databases which may match this term.

Ultrasensitive Imaging: Hunting Every Photon
As the demands for precise imaging in fields such as medicine, astronomy, and real-time machine vision in hostile environments continue to increase, so the demands placed on imaging equipment become ever more stringent. An imaging method based on Single Photon Avalanche Photodiodes (SPAD) offers the potential to ease this bottleneck greatly.

The Brain Unveiled
Technology Review's long, and in depth look at the rise of diffusion spectrum imaging, and how this new neural interface imaging technique is rapidly accelerating the study of both human and animal brains to an extent unparalleled by any previous imaging technique, even fMRI.

Brain Reading: Diffusion Spectrum Imaging
Diffusion spectrum imaging is a new technique at time of writing, which allows magnetic resonance brain imaging, at a much higher level of fidelity than fMRI permits.

Using VR and Phased Imaging to Track Alzheimers Disease Progression in New Ways
In mid 2012, Swiss researchers turned the world of alzheimers plaque imaging on its head: by combining a phased imaging source and an integral VR model generator, for the first time ever we can now track the formation of Alzheimers plaques in real-time in living patients.

Resource List: Medical Imaging

AR based Medical imaging technologies really began to take off in the early 2000s. There are a growing range of holographic, projective, interactive gesture recognition tools available, which can really make training and diagnosis so much easier.

Brain Reading: fMRI
fMRI or functional magnetic resonance imaging, is one of the newest brain imaging technologies for the first decade of the 21st century. It is a basic form of Brain-Computer Interaction.
