What is Dark-Field Radiography

Conventional imaging modalities like CT, MRI, and x-ray have become indispensable for medical diagnosis, but continual innovation is required to overcome their limitations in terms of resolution, radiation exposure, and cost. As a leader in automated image analysis, speedier diagnosis, and personalized treatment through the analysis of large datasets and the discovery of hitherto invisible patterns, AI is simply amazing. Other than AI, new imaging modalities like dark-field radiography and photoacoustic imaging (PAI) provide distinct perspectives. Aside from that, visualization tools made possible by 3D printing and virtual reality (VR) are revolutionizing medical imaging. This chapter investigates few Advanced Imaging techniques like photoacoustic imaging, radiomics, photon counting – CT, and dark-field radiography. This review explores these developments' underlying theories, areas of current research interest, and possible uses, emphasizing how they could transform medical imaging in the direction of increased accuracy, earlier diagnosis, and better patient outcomes.
