EDXRD
Energy dispersive X-ray diffraction to identify tissues
The EDXRD technique exploits the Bragg law by fixing the diffraction angle (< 5°) and by scanning the energy range with a polychromatic spectrum and an energy resolved detector.
What's new?
New detector technology based on room temperature semiconductor crystal (CdTe/CZT) combined with optimized low noise front-end electronics to provide high energy resolved EDXRD spectra.
Simulation package DERiX-lab, capable of modeling the whole diffraction chain (including geometry, collimators, detectors, diffraction physics) to dimension any new EDXRD system.
Specific detector-level and spectrometric material discrimination processing methods (algorithms) to provide the signature of each material with the best accuracy.
Experimental EDXRD lab bench, with flexible geometry (collimation, angle, distances).
