Abstract
Examinations using X-rays are widely applied to various industrial and clinical applications. Especially, the use of X-rays that are used to diagnose various diseases has been focused on since the early stages of X-ray development. Because X-ray examinations are non-invasive and have a record of achieving high performance, many current clinical diagnoses are based on X-ray images [1–3]. We understand that many imaging techniques help medical diagnosis and contribute to the improvement of quality of life. Although the X-ray examination is an essential element for medical diagnosis, the principles of generating X-ray images have not made much progress. In this book, we want to describe the development of a novel imaging detector, which is expected to open new avenues for diagnosis in medicine. Before describing the novel analysis technique using the new imaging detector, we will explain the basics of X-rays.
