Abstract :
If we take advantage of time of flight imaging, phase imaging, energy discriminant information, inherent absorption differences of tissues, fast gated digital detectors, computer enhancements and reconstruction of data, and new chemoradiotherapeutic agents, monochromatic X-rays will have a shining future in medicine
