Chinese scientists have created a new, compact X-ray imaging system capable of producing real-time “see-through” video of moving objects. This “ghost imaging” technique utilizes a tabletop setup to capture dynamic events, such as the operation of machinery or biological processes like a heartbeat. Unlike conventional X-ray methods, this new system promises reduced radiation exposure for subjects. The technology achieves this by employing a unique approach to image reconstruction. Researchers believe this innovation could have significant applications in fields requiring high-speed, low-dose X-ray imaging. Further development could lead to advancements in both industrial inspection and medical diagnostics. The simplified setup also makes the technology more accessible for diverse research applications.
