Laser X-Rays may be Able to Detect Cancer

We have used X-Rays as a medical imaging technique since 1895 when Wilhelm Roentgen discovered that he could create pictures of body structures like tissues and bones by passing electromagnetic waves through the body. He named the phenomenon X because he did not initially understand what made up the rays. Since that time, X-Rays have been the building block upon which medical imaging technology and medical imaging equipment have been made. Even though the X-Ray has long been a basic medical imaging tool, this approach has always had the down side that the pictures made are not exact, which makes it so it requires extremely careful analysis and interpretation. Scientists have been researching for years in an attempt to find a way to make the radiographic images better View the rest of this article
