Abstract

Getting information of microstructure of living body with non-invasive method is a subject that scientists have long been exploring. Up to now, CT system such as X-ray computed tomography (X-CT), emission computed tomography (ECT or (gamma) -CT) and nuclear magnetic resonance computed tomography (NMR-CT), etc., can only resolve macrostructure no smaller than 1 millimeter except ultrasonic microscope (USM). By way of a long duration of studying and the simulating test, the authors of this paper proposed a theory of the computed tomographic microscope with living body (CTM), or microscopic CT(MCT), and invented a new technology: X-ray transmission electron microscope (XEM or IIMT), which has been granted patent by the Patent Office of P.R.C.
