Abstract

One of the possible applications of relativistic electron radiation during channeling in crystals, i.e., the use of radiation for medical visualization, is considered.A setup scheme is proposed, the results of numerical simulation of electron dynamics in crystals and radiation generation and the results of calculations of dose loads are presented.
