P. Suortti et al., A SINGLE-CRYSTAL BENT LAUE MONOCHROMATOR FOR CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 336(1-2), 1993, pp. 304-309
A new monochromator has been developed for the human coronary angiogra
phy Project at the National Synchrotron Light Source. it is a single b
ent crystal of silicon in the Laue transmission geometry. The design,
testing and use of this monochromator in a human imaging procedure wil
l be discussed.
