Although the X-Ray or radiograph has long been a fundamental medical imaging tool, this approach has always had the drawback that the images produced are indistinct, requiring extremely careful analysis and interpretation. Scientists have long searched for a way to enhance the quality of radiographic images.
Recent breakthroughs in the development of laser X-Ray capability have the potential to completely change the quality of radiographic images. The light generated by a laser source would be bright enough to create strong, distinct contrasts on radiographic images. Moreover, coupling the candlepower of a laser beam with X-Ray could improve resolution by a factor of about one thousand. Medical systems at this level of resolution could provide the technology to detect cancers and other abnormalities that cannot now be detected with current X-Ray technology.
