DALLAS, May 13 – Electron beam computed tomography (EBCT) scans can help doctors predict whether otherwise-healthy people with risk factors such as high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol ...

Scientists have used a transmission electron microscope to record almost 3500 images in 3.5 seconds for the reconstruction of a 3D electron tomogram. Previously, 10 to 60 minutes and a ten-fold ...

Electron beam computed tomography (EBT) allows to scan in 50 msec at the shortest without cardiac motion artifact or the influence of lungs or bones.

Electron tomography is related to computed tomography, ... meaning that for the same image quality an electron beam dose that is two to three times lower suffices," explains Dr. Vadim Migunov, ...
