An image of opacified vasculature of a rat obtained using ultra-fast Laser Produced Plasma (LPP) x-ray source in the Dual Energy Subtraction Angiography (DESA) mode. Up till now it was only possible using a synchrotron (>$100M) now we can do it in a clinic or a small lab using $1M device, we hope to make it cheaper in the future. The image was obtained in the INRS laboratory (U. of Quebec, Varennes) in the framework of my NHBLI/ NIH grant by my subcontractor Dr. Jean-Claude Kieffer.
