Description
The aim of this experiment was to use the Diffraction-Enhanced
Imaging (DEI) system at Daresbury, which has recently upgraded with
new Channel-cut crystals to produce images of mice’s feet. There
were two types of mice’s feet used, normal and arthritic. The two
types of sample were imaged and compared in order to determine
whether it was possible to detect the changes in cartilage that are
linked with arthritis. The analysis of the results with regards to
the presence of arthritis is still to be carried out, however the
refraction images of the samples do show clearly some soft tissue
structures and the joints in the ankle.
