One of my former students presented me with this link, which proposes some groundbreaking changes in the world of Radiography.
The MAX (microemitter array x-ray) is a flat-panel source of x-ray photons that produces a parallel beam from solid state technology, rather than the traditional x-ray tubes that we currently use.
Radius Health is testing equipment with the assistance of UCLA to eventually produce a flat-panel source for ionizing radiation at the diagnostic range. They believe that the MAX will reduce cost, allow equipment to be smaller and lighter, while allowing for maximum portability.
I'm excited to see where this goes!
