Dear Colleagues,
Dual-energy X-ray imaging is an alternative technique to simple transmission X-ray imaging which produces two separate radiographs using two different X-ray energies. This technique can obtain both the density and atomic number, and, thus, provide information about material composition and improve image contrast. The dual energy technique is capable of differentiating materials with similar electron densities that have different photon absorption. This information is very helpful for industrial inspection applications, for security, and for the quality evaluation of agricultural and food products, as well as in various disciplines of medical imaging.
Due to the variety of research fields in dual energy X-ray imaging, the Editorial Board of Crystals has decided to devote a Special Issue of the journal to the analysis of the “Development and Application of Novel Dual Energy X-ray Imaging Methods”.
Being honored to serve as Guest Editors, we hereby invite all colleagues who work on topics related to the “Development and Application of Novel Dual Energy X-ray Imaging Methods” to contribute to this issue. Topics relating to issues such as medical imaging, industrial applications, security, agricultural, etc., are welcome.
