Title:
COHERENT SCATTER IMAGING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006027758
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A CSI system is described that uses pencil beams (40,42,44,46) through a sample (30) having a region of interest (32). Each coherent scatter spectrum of sample beams (40, 44) through the region of interest is subtracted by the spectra using respective reference beams (42, 46). The measurements are combined to determine features of the region of interest (32) whilst minimising the effect of features in the rest of the sample (30).
